guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges fares, while improving our
to a record 73m passengers this year. customer service.” MICHAEL O’LEARY
We recently announced our 44th base in
Seville (Spain) to our passengers which is our
8th Spanish base, as we continue to deliver
consumer choice and much lower fares than the
high fares being charged in Spain by Air Berlin,
Iberia, Vueling and Spanair.
Last month we exposed easyJet’s failure to
publish its weekly on-time statistics for the last 60
weeks. Ryanair believes easyJet has been hiding
these details since May 2009, because they know
they can’t compete with Ryanair’s punctuality,
just in the same way that easyJet can’t compete
with our low fares either. Perhaps easyJet will
now break with the past and confirm that they will
resume publishing weekly details of their on-time
stats, so that passengers can compare easyJet’s
punctuality with that of Ryanair, and assure
themselves that easyJet can’t match Ryanair’s
pricing or our punctuality either.
Ryanair is committed to guaranteeing the
lowest fares on every route we operate. We
are so confident that you won’t get a cheaper
fare elsewhere, that if you find a lower fare with
a competitor, we will refund you double the
difference, guaranteed.*
I hope you enjoy your flight with us as our
fantastic crew take great care of you. Thank you
for choosing to fly with Ryanair and I look forward
to welcoming you and your family onboard many
more low-fare Ryanair flights in the near future.
Best Wishes,

WORLD BOG SNORKELLING CHAMPIONSHIPS
LLANWRTYD WELLS, UK
Bog snorkelling? If you think this sounds downright nasty you’re spot on, but that’s
part of the fun! Bog snorkelling entails manoeuvring along two lengths of a 55m
peat bog trench on the outskirts of one of Britain’s smallest towns, Llanwrtyd Wells
in Wales. Chances are this event was conceived after a few pints at a different sort
of watering hole – but, nonetheless, the competition has really caught on. Past
international contestants have come from as far afield as Russia, Australia and New
Zealand, and all aim to race down the bog in less than two minutes – hoping not to
drink the bog as they go. Wetsuits are optional, but certainly recommended.

COMMENT
The Oscar-winning Spanish actor talks travel
“WHEN I WAS 20 YEARS OLD I TOOK TWO

months off and went alone to Brazil. That was
an experience. I came back stronger. I had fun
too. Say Brazil, and all these images come to
Javier Bardem mind: beaches, palm trees, coconut water,
samba, those little bikini things?
“But my home is in Spain. I live in Madrid,
and my football team is Atlético Madrid. I come
from a family of actors and I am very attached
to Spanish cinema – so although I love other
places too, Spain is home.
“There’s something really inside of me that
needs and wants to work in my own language,
which is partly why I made one of my new
films, Biutiful, in Barcelona. It was a tough
role. But if you want to be an actor, you have
to be really open, let yourself be taken by
emotions. The difficult thing is how to get back
to yourself again afterwards.
“I work really hard to try to make people
believe it. In Vicky Cristina Barcelona I was like:
‘Who in the world is going to believe that these
women are killing each other for me?’ But
Woody Allen thought it was going to be right, I
just had to lose a lot of weight!
“That film stereotypes people. First, Woody
makes fun of them. He introduces the clichés in
“The food in the north is

great — I would love to eat a
good piece of steak there”
a very plain way for us to see, like: ‘Wow. Latin

lover. American tourists. Spain. Wine. Come
on!’ But then he makes fun of that, and starts
to destroy that for us, to see that behind those
clichés there are people who share the same
fears, the same dependence, the same goals.
“As for the rest of Spain, well it has beautiful
places but I’m not going to tell you where
because then everyone will know! The south
of Spain is beautiful and the food in the north
is great – I would love to eat a good piece of
steak there. My most recent travels were to
Bali to make Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts.
I like the way they interact with nature there.
There are fruits you can only imagine and
beautiful Thai food. It’s very shocking to see
how little we are and what our real place on
this planet Earth is, because it’s huge. Besides
that I was very happy to be at the beach!”

GET THE VIBE…

CULTURE ON THE COSTA
As the most populous autonomous community
in Spain, Andalucia is home to some of Spain’s
most glittering jewels: Seville with its wild
flamenco and famous oranges; Granada,
home to the stunning Alhambra citadel and
intoxicating Moorish history; and Marbella,
glitzy playground to the stars. And then of
course there is Malaga, whose phenomenal
historical foundations, increasingly vibrant
network of restaurants, bars, parks and shops,
and proud cultural centres are attracting
visitors for more than just sun, sea and
sangria, and providing momentum for the
city’s present bid to become European Capital
of Culture in 2016.
This may seem like a long way off, but the
build-up has been going on for centuries
– and is everywhere you look. Founded by
Phoenicians in 770BC, Malaga – like many
other cities on Spain’s Mediterranean coast
– passed through Roman and Arabic hands
before finally coming under control of the
Spanish in 1487.
This combination of influences is visible

The neighbourhood started out in the
1950s when the Belgian empire was breaking
up. Back then it was just a small residential
area in the heart of the Ixelles district. But
soon enough the African population outgrew
the local one and the area was rechristened
Matongé. Today, a quarter of Brussels’
inhabitants are of African descent, and
Matongé is their playground.
But it’s also a neighbourhood to take a load
off and relax in – attracting Europeans, Asians
and others to share the same platters of food
and mumble away in their own customised
English beneath the boom, pop and fizz of
African jazz. It’s only when you spot the black,
yellow and red flag flying high over a building
that you remember you’re in Belgium.
One of the main streets is the Rue Longue
Vie (the “long life”), and it’s where Matongé
gets spicy. A row of bars with names like Cap
à Fric and Soleil d’Afrique manage to capture a
beach-side atmosphere only a couple of blocks
from the European Parliament. These bars are

both friends, were tired of the usual clubbing
scene, so they started organising nights called
Tecktonik Killer, where thousands of clubbers
would step to the heavy sounds of Belgian
techno and “hardstyle” (a mix of hard trance,
hardcore and rave). More and more dancers
started choreographing routines and dressing
in the same style, and Tecktonik was born.
The name was inspired by tectonic plates,
signifying the meeting and clashing of cultures.
It struck a chord with teenagers who loved
the freedom it gave them and the fashion
style it has become associated with. Millions
started watching the online video posts of
kids performing in the streets around the
Eiffel Tower and Pompidou Centre.

There’s a secret to making the

perfect cup of coffee, as Alexander
James finds out as he trains to be a
barista at the Illy school in Trieste.
Photography by Alexander Short
The last time I sipped the perfect cup of coffee was in the least
salubrious of places – a fast-food diner in Pisa. It was made by a
grunting, wispy-haired gent, with no hype, no ceremony and no
stamping of loyalty cards. The result was a thick gulp of liquid-velvet
richness that left a touch of sweetness lingering on the tongue.
I have been attempting to recreate that cup ever since, which is
why I signed up to a course promising to transform coffee virgins
into fully fledged baristas – taking me to the Università del Caffè, run
by Italian gourmet coffee brand Illy in Trieste. What would happen I
b
wondered? Would I be able to make the perfect cup of espresso, and
free myself from freeze-dried instant forever?
When it comes to coffee, Rome and Vienna are renowned, but Trieste
is truly Italy’s hidden coffee gem. Stuck at the crossroads of Latin,
Germanic and Slavic Europe, Trieste is identity crisis brought to life in
bricks, mortar and very attractively laid out public spaces. It was Austrian
until 1918, independent for a while after World War II – when the Iron
Curtain descended unceremoniously right through its suburbs – before
becoming Italian, but only in 1954. While Venice and Florence have their
unique cultural pull, Milan is the cosmopolitan heart of fashion and Rome
has la dolce vita, Trieste is the Java-hub of Europe, with it’s this melting
pot of second- and third-generation Austrians, Czechs, Croatians and
Slovenians that harbours a passion for coffee like no other.
In the average Triestine coffee emporium you will find a selection
of 50 ways in which a coffee can be served. There’s a poster showing
all of them at Caffè degli Specchi on Piazza Unità d’Italia. To the
untrained eye they look like different servings of espresso with

far more complex. Take the “Nero Gocciato in
Bicchiere”, a shot glass of coffee, crowned by
a micro-foam drop of milk, heated to such a
temperature that it adds a smooth round taste
to the intensity of the bean. Heat the milk
too much, however, and the result is a burnt
flavour that smothers the coffee flavour. It’s a
delicate balance. The people of Trieste have
their own specific tastes of coffees and times
to drink them. When I ordered a cappuccino
after 11am the barista stared at me like I’d just
insulted his mother.
Luckily Illy’s Università del Caffè, where
wannabe baristas are trained, is here to help
me survive. Entering the coffee company’s
headquarters, I stroll past espresso bars and
through sleek corridors to find a lecture
theatre adorned with super-powered coffee
machines. Glass-encased desks make up
the rows, with artist-designed espresso cups
gleaming inside.
I find out from wall displays that coffee first
came to Europe through nearby Venice in the
17th century, but the roasting houses started
in Trieste at the same time to support the new
trade. The city’s position as the main trading
port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire helped
to establish it as an epicentre for perfecting the LASTLY,

The barista works to a set of basic rules, and
to disobey just one of them could lead to his
handiwork being spat out in disdain. “The ideal
taste of a coffee should be a perfect balance
between
etween bitterness, sweetness and acidity, and
thatt is where the barista comes in,” Morena says,
beforee passing me over to one of Illy’s head

“A cappuccino is like a cocktail, and the
ingredients need to be right. That includes
the milk,” Michele says. “It needs to have a
temperature between 37°C and 65°C, and be
frothed until the consistency starts to shine.”
To create latte art he shows me how to pour
the frothy milk into a black espresso, tilting the
milk jug backwards and forwards, as the froth
starts to rise. You pour the milk down with a
wriggling action to create a ripple-effect leaf.
I try quite a few times, managing to spill half
the milk on the first attempt, before getting one
almost right. Michele has been doing this for
15 years. No wonder he makes it look easy.

no choice but to unwind and focus on what’s
important. For literary titans and sometime
Trieste natives, James Joyce and Jules Verne,
coffee drinking was an essential pastime. Joyce,
who is remembered by three different statues in
the city, would sip espresso at the Caffè Stella
Polare on Via Dante (tel: +39 040 632742).
Needless to say the barista here pours my latte
expertly, getting that ripple leaf just right.
Coffee is more than a drink in Trieste; it’s a
culture. It’s made by the barista here with the
same sense of intuition a sailor has sensing

coffee making to become second nature yet,

Learning a language?
Consider it child’s play.
Think about how you learnt your native language as a child. The world was
your classroom, but there were no lessons. You were an active participant in
the process of learning, but it all seemed like fun and games. Like child’s play.
That’s the secret to Rosetta Stone®. We unlock your brain’s natural ability
to learn a language. You’ll learn through engaging, interactive activities that
encourage you to think in the new language. And just like a child, you won’t
memorise or translate. You’ll have fun as you progress, and you’ll find it easy
to achieve your language learning goals.
