Javier Alaez, teacher of Josefinas School

“Participating in the Carnival of Cadiz makes you work all year long”


He is one of the best known composers and musicians of the Carnival of the city. Now, he is working on the lyrics for the competitions of Cadiz and Merida, even though he would like to travel in the summer and go to a musician camp.

How does a teacher live his holidays?

To tell you the truth, I was resting because of all the work which we had during the end of the course. Although I have not recovered totally yet, I will go to a musician camp as a trainer.

Of what does a musician camp consist?
It is a camp with a lot of musical activities, for example we show children to play different instruments by teaching them songs and plays.

People think that living Carnival during the summer is foolish.
We do not live carnival during the year, but all year long. To be in time for the Carnival of Cadiz we have to live it even more. Each hour of leisure is dedicated to composing and practising.

Catamanares in Cadiz

A total of 30.492 travellers have used the “catamaranes” service. It was initiated on the 6th of June and it connects Cádiz with two towns: El Puerto Santa María and Rota.

According to the Consortium, the line that covers Cadiz and El Puerto de Santa María, transported 24.831 passengers in 644 trips during the first month, meanwhile the line Cadiz-Rota was used by 5.661 passengers in 216 trips.

All the 560 trips were proceeded without incidences and the timetable was adhered to satisfactory.

The 24th edition of the Folklore Festival has begun in Cadiz.

The managers of the “City of Cadiz” organisation presented in the town council the folklore groups which will dance for the public in the Pemán.

The idea is that the dance and rhythms existing in and outside of our country will be shown and enjoyed by the Cadiz citizens. The 24th International Folklore Festival has started and will be in the Cadiz streets for some days.
Managers of the groups held speeches in the opening act, where they talked about the details of the performances. They highlighted the cultural richness of their countries and affirmed that they show these dances as political claims of each region.

Cadiz aspires being the World Heritage City (“Patrimonio de la Humanidad”) because of the Constitution.

The town council will try again to reach this title based on the Constitution of the second century and because Cadiz was the City where this text originated.

The Town Council of Cadiz is going to carry out a new attempt to get the “World Heritage City” title. After the last petition was refused, this time it is going to include a detail which will change the process: Cadiz being a Constitutional City and the seat of the Third Magna Letter, which was written after the American and the French ones.

The main pitfall was that there were a lot of historic towns which wanted the title, so the Unesco decided to limit the number of candidates. The town council of Cadiz will try again to obtain the title because of the constitutional character of the city.

The Mayor of Cádiz, Teófila Martínez, stated that she is going to take a resolution to the next session in August to obtain the approval of the Corporation. And after that, she will stand for the candidature again based on this topic “we want to sort problems out once and for all”.
