Jamones Y Embutidos Fermin brings you true Jamon Serrano cured in the traditional fashion in the medieval mountain town of La Alberca. It has its unique flavour and aroma considering a different breed of pig, area of production, and the age-old curing process.

This Jamon Serrano Bodega comes from animals that were born in the region of Salamanca in western Spain. They were raised humanely in the mountains, and spent much of their lives outdoors on Spanish pasture land.

Characteristics of Jamon Serrano Bodega

• True Spanish mountain ham from free-range white pigs
• Traditional Bodega-cured Jamón Serrano
• Approx. wt.7.5 Kilos – 16.5 lb bone-in whole ham
• Vacuum Packed and Gift Wrapped

The curing process of the Fermin Jamon Serrano is completely traditional. Here, the hams are salted, then cured in drying rooms with open screened windows for 18-20 months, caressed by mountain air as it wafts through the area where the hams are hung.

The result is a plump, deep-red jamon with a complex flavour and a mild saltiness. Mount this ham in a special holder and it will be a centerpiece of any gathering. Serve this quality jamon serrano to your guests and they will rave about its flavour – the flavour of the mountains of Spain.

Organised by the Trade Fair and Congress (Palacio de Ferias y Congresos) of the Marbella Town Hall, Marbella Trade Fair has become a reference point for trade by accommodating various industries with a platform to augment their business in Marbella.

The 2010 Marbella Trade Fair, which is in its 29th edition, is scheduled between 4th to 7th November. In an economic environment as tough as the current, this new edition of the Marbella Exhibition aims to bring better opportunity for new companies that seek promotion and dissemination of their products and services.

However, this year to avoid excessive competition- the Marbella Trade Fair (Feria de Muestras) will only allow each sector to be represented by a maximum of two companies. As a result, it would help companies to meet their business objectives.

In the past years, this multisectoral Marbella Trade Fair has been a great success which is reflected in the outstanding participation of various economic sectors such as automotive, furniture, food, tourism, service sector, multiple machines, textile, cosmetics, computer, telecommunications, home appliances, construction, health and entertainment, among others.

Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Marbella

Apart from business promotion and exhibition, the Marbella Trade Fair also holds business seminars where industry leaders meet to discuss all concerned issues.

At 3,000 square meters meet, business and commercial firms are most representative of the economic sectors that in recent years have been undergoing a constant change to improve their development and growth in a dynamic environment.

Interestingly, the event will share the stage with the gastronomic fair “de Picoteo” which this year introduced the second edition of visitors following the success achieved last year.

Stand Up Paddle Surfing: A New Way To Surf

Stand up paddle surfing or stand up boarding is an interesting water sports and those who enjoy wind surfing can also ride the waves of the sea with a surfboard and a paddle on the Costa del Sol coast line.

Costa del Sol resort town Marbella is a great place to enjoy ‘Stand Up Paddle Surfing’ with the Mediterranean waves. Many adventure and water sports organiser in Marbella arrange this activity both for tourists and locals.

Origin of Stand Up Paddle Surfing

The origins of stand up paddle surfing are lost in antiquity – the ancient Hawaains both paddled canoes and surfed, and are very likely to have combined the two sports.

In more recent times, Waikiki beach boys engaged in the sport during the heyday of the Waikiki surfing scene – it was called beach boy surfing in those days.

The modern resurgence of the sport was initiated by world-class surfers such as Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama, always on the lookout for new ways of having fun in the surf.

How does Stand Up Paddle Surfing work

It is now of the fastest growing water sports in the world due to its versatility, and unlike conventional surfing, in stand up paddle surfing the surfer needs to stand straight facing the way the board is going.

However, it is no way easy to control the board for long time although you have a paddle for propulsion. You have to master the right technique in order to get the best out of this water sports.

Stand up paddle surfing is a great all around cross- training exercise which utilizes the core muscles and provides a well rounded workout, as well as being a lot of fun!

Nearly six years ago, early on Boxing Day morning, over 1,500 people were crammed into eight rust-coloured carriages pulled by Sri Lankan Railway Engine no 59. Engine 59 also known as Samudradevi – which ironically means Queen of the Seas!!!

The 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami destroyed two-thirds of Sri Lanka’s coastline, ravaged with waves going inland by as much as 5 kms, killing more than 30,000 people in one day.

Just after Samudradevi left Colombo, at 7.00 a.m., the earth had groaned in the Indian Ocean, somewhere off Sumatra. The India and Burma tectonic plates crashed and 1200 km of the plate boundary slipped, resulting in an earthquake that, at 9 on the Richter scale, was the fourth largest in the world since 1900. The quake’s power was so strong that the earth was momentarily shaken from its axis.

Within a few weeks, Sandro Morelli held a Birthday party in Marbella and Maurice Bolan organized an event, the result of which was that more than 100,000 euro’s was raised for the Disaster Relief Fund.

The Manacare Foundation from Spain took a team of volunteers from Spain and Gibraltar to help with the relief work.

After much reconnaissance work, it was decided to build something that would not only assist in the immediate Relief, but would be a pillar of Hope for many years to come. Sadly some of the volunteers could not see the long term vision and ceased, but others have replaced them over the past six years and those volunteers together with further financial donations, have been instrumental in providing what exists now.

The Hopes and Dreams Centre employs teachers, doctors, nurses, seamstresses, and soap and candle makers, in all 58 people. More than 800 children and adults benefit from the Centre and work further afield is now being undertaken in the refugee camps and in prisons.

The first stage of the Centre is finished. The second stage, which involves housing for the physically handicapped, and a training centre for housemaids, is mainly geared at helping young people with no homes or families to train for a profession. Many of these orphans have no education at all.

This is an excellent effort from the part of the Manacare Foundation to generate fund for the rehabilitation of Tsunami victims in Sri Lanka.
