Alicante set to welcome more passengers from Northern Ireland courtesy of Jet2.com

In perfect timing for the opening of the new Terminal at Alicante Airport in the Costa Blanca this March, Jet2.com has announced its 13th destination with new flights from Belfast International Airport to the Region of Alicante in Spain.

New development launches in Mallorca Taylor Wimpey´s new residential complex, Aires de Pollensa is an exclusive development of only 9 apartments of 2 and 3 bedrooms, on a private urbanisation. Aires Pollensa The units are distributed in a three floor building. The ground floors offer ample terraces and up to 80 m2 private gardens. The first floor units have good sized terraces and the stunning penthouses boast private roof terraces with private access from the apartment. The complex also offers underground parking spaces, a communal swimming pool and garden. Aires de Pollensa is a single block of apartments with a communal area and swimming pool. It also has private parking spaces. Aires Pollensa 2 Located in port of Pollença, Aires de Pollensa is close enough to benefit from all the facilities that the port has to offer but with peaceful and quiet surroundings and beautiful views. Aires de Pollensa has been built in one of the most beautiful places of Majorca Island, the North Coast, close to the Sierra Tramontana and the idylic Cabo Formentor, surely the best well preserved area of the Island. Excellent opportunity to invest in a property in Majorca, on one of the most beautiful coasts of Mallorca at a special price. Aires Pollensa 3 GOLF COURSES AND POLLENTIA MAR Mallorca and its north coast has a variety of very good golf courses and Pollentia Mar is located very close to the famous Golf Pollensa, a nine hole golf course with impressive views to the famous Sierra Tramuntana mountains, nearby olive groves, the bays of Pollença and Alcudia and the Albufereta Nature Reserve. You have all the facilities to practise any water sport, cycling and even bird watching. Using the highway that crosses the island from north to south, the capital of the island, Palma de Mallorca, is only a 35 minute drive away from Pollensa, with the airport of Palma being only 10 minutes further. The area of Pollensa offers a wide range of activities such as playing golf on the famous Golf Pollensa course, various cycling routes, kite surfing, sailing and diving schools, and the freedom offered by the long beach and crystal clear water of the bay. The new Aires de Pollensa development is located in the residential area of Gotmar, where you can enjoy a relaxed and detached atmosphere, only 5 minutes walking distance away from the beach and promenade, which offers a wide range of restaurants, bars and supermarkets. 0 0share0shareNew e 04/11/2011 f taylorwimpeyespana 4 Mallorca, Palma, Pollentia Mar, Puerto Pollença, Spain JAires de Pollensa, Albufereta Nature Reserve, Alcudia, Cabo Formentor, Mallorca, Palma, Pollença, Sierra Tramontana, Taylor Wimpey Espana b No Comments Robin Dostoyevsky by Andy Hope 1930 The Contemporary Art Centre of Málaga is presenting Robin Dostoyevsky by Andy Hope 1930, the first solo exhibition in Spain on one of Germany’s most internationally celebrated artists. A woman stands next to an artwork by German artist Andy Hope 1930 (born Andreas Hofer) during the opening of a exhibition entitled 'Robin Dostoyevsky by Andy Hope' at Contemporary Art Centre of Malaga, (CAC), in Malaga, Andalusia, southern Spain. The exhibition includes nine, large-format works and a sculptural piece, all produced between 2010 and 2011 and never previously exhibited. The exhibition runs from 08 April to 19 June 2011. EPA/DANIEL PEREZ. Nine, large-format works and a sculptural piece, all produced between 2010 and 2011 and never previously exhibited, comprise the contents of this exhibition by Andy Hope 1930, on display in the Centre’s Espacio 2. The eclectic repertoire of characters, symbols and icons that characterise the work of an artist devoted to comics and science fiction is evident in the exhibition’s title, which is an imaginary fusion of Robin, the companion of Batman’s comic-book adventures, and the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the forerunner of Existentialism. Through this disconcerting combination, Andy Hope 1930 reveals his ability to reinterpret spaces, characters and past eras in order to transform them into a new reality. Andy Hope 1930 Foto panorámica / Installation view, 2011 CAC Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Málaga Andy Hope 1930’s work is an ongoing visual challenge to the viewer. This figurative artist’s interest in going beyond established limits and in devising a creative universe that is difficult to place within a single artistic trend converts his works into a game of suspicion and ambiguities that provoke contradictory emotions and a degree of thematic confusion on the spectator’s part. The very title of the exhibition now on display at the CAC Málaga, Robin Dostoyevsky by Andy Hope 1930, as well as the artist’s chosen pseudonym, offer ample proof of this. “Robin Dostoyevsky” is an imaginary character created by the artist through a fusion of Robin, the companion (and in many people’s opionion, the gay friend) of the charismatic comic-book hero Batman, and the figure of the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky, father of Existentialism and renowned for his works that explore human psychology within the complex historical, social and political context of 19th-century Russia. The title of the present exhibition is completed by the addition of the name of the artist (previously known as Andreas Hofer). Andy Hope is the alter ego of “Dorian Hope”, a character created by Arthur Cravan, who was himself a forerunner of Dada, a poet, boxer and nephew of Oscar Wilde. In addition, the date 1930 refers to the turning point in the Suprematist revolution led by Malevich, an artist who championed a total break with traditional art, while it is also the year in which various events took place that would mark the history of the 20th century, including the greatest economic crisis of the century and the rise of the Nazi party in Germany. Andy Hope 1930 Robin Dostoyevsky 3, 2010 CAC Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Málaga For Fernando Francés, director of the CAC Málaga: “The present exhibition on Andy Hope 1930 reveals the ability of this German artist to reinterpret spaces, formats, characters and historical moments, through which he produces a-temporal works that he uses in a Baroque and at times sinister manner to reflect on history and popular culture, provoking a disconcerting creative imbalance. This interest in recent history, in particular in German history and Nazi symbols, as well as in social transformation, to which he refers in a veiled manner, is also common to other Central European artists whose works reveal a particular sensitivity towards modern political events that are interpreted from the viewpoint of artistic creation”. Andy Hope 1930 deliberately uses a wide range of media (paintings, sculptures, collage, videos) in an ongoing process of experimentation that combines reality and fantasy, historical moments and literary genres, comics and science fiction. The result is a body of work not devoid of a certain nostalgia and extravagance, which the artist uses to reflect on history and on issues relating to authorship and identity through the combinations of names that are so characteristic of his work. In addition to the importance of Malevich and Paul Klee, Andy Hope 1930 has also acknowledged the influence of J. G. Ballard (the Chinese-born, British science fiction writer) and William Boroughs. Andy Hope 1930 Robin Dostoyevsky 6, 2010 CAC Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Málaga The nine, large-format works (on canvas, sack cloth and paper) that comprise the present exhibition at the CAC Málaga are an example of the artist’s tendency to mix different genres and periods in time, given that they bring to mind 18th- and 19th-century portraiture. Andy Hope 1930, the name that the artist has used to sign his works since 1997, began his studies at the prestigious Munich Fine Arts Academy then continued at the Chelsea College of Art & Design in London. He currently lives and works in Berlin. International recognition arrived with his solo exhibition Welt ohne Ende (World without End, 2005) at the Lenbachhaus, Munich, and This is Island Earth (2006) at the Hauser & Wirth Gallery, London. 8 April to 19 June 2011 0 0share0shareNew e 04/11/2011 f taylorwimpeyespana 4 Costa del Sol, Malaga, Spain JAndy Hope 1930, Contemporary Art Centre of Málaga, Costa del Sol, Malaga b No Comments Last remaining show homes for sale Logo TaylorWimpey Info TaylorWimpey Title TaylorWimpey fondo fondo MALLORCA Mallorca Las 4 show homes remaining Portals / Puerto Portals: PB-B Apartment 3 beds Parking space and storage room included in price price 530.000 € Puerto II / Cala d’Or: A-1°-4 Apartment 2 beds price 177.000 € Pollentia Mar / Pollença: C-4°-1 Apartment 2 beds Parking space included in price price 215.000 € Click here Click here Click here fondo COSTA BLANCA Costa Blanca Las show homes remaining Valle Alenda / Elche: n° 14 Townhouse 2 beds Parking space included in price Last unit available price 160.000 € Click here fondo COSTA DEL SOL COSTA DEL SOL Las show homes remaining Robles / Benahavis (Marbella): n° B-9-3 Flat 3 beds Parking space included in price Last unit available price 251.000 € Click here 0 0share0shareNew e 04/07/2011 f taylorwimpeyespana 4 Alicante, Calpe, Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Mallorca, Palma, Puerto Pollença, Spain JCosta Blanca, Costa del Sol, Mallorca, Palma, Taylor Wimpey Espana b No Comments Alicante set to welcome more passengers from Northern Ireland courtesy of Jet2.com

The Costa Blanca is a popular destination for the Northern Irish and for the peak summer period, holiday makers and home owners alike can escape to sunnier climes from only £39.99 (including taxes) every Monday during the height of the season, between 27th June and 29th August 2011.

The no-frills airline already flies from Belfast to Murcia and so the additional Belfast to Alicante route will further expand Jet2.com’s presence in Spain.

Alicante Airport will certainly be able to handle the increased traffic with the third terminal set to officially commence operation on 24th March, increasing passenger capacity from 9 million to 20 million per year. Alicante is the perfect stepping stone to the popular nearby destinations of Benidorm, Torrevieja, Denia and Calpe where Taylor Wimpey de España has also been expanding its own operation of new home developments.

Ignacio Osle, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey de España comments:

“Other than Alicante itself where we offer a number of select and boutique developments to second home buyers, nearby Calpe is a popular choice offering owners stunning Mediterranean beaches, excellent golf resorts and year round sunshine. Travelling north beyond the crowded beaches of Benidorm, Calpe is only 45 minutes drive from Alicante Airport and so a easy commute for owners.

“Our most popular developments in this area are Montesol and Calpesol. Both residential complexes offer spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhouses with gardens, private parking and communal swimming pools. These turnkey homes are available now from €251,000 and €169,500 respectively.

“The new flights from Jet2.com will make a real difference to existing owners and those seeking to purchase in Spain. Many will be using the properties themselves for their own summer holidays but owners can also cash in on the peak summer demand for accommodation by letting out their property to holiday makers. The increased availability of flights is certainly a positive development for everyone.”
