Avete mai visto quattro persone sedute al tavolo di Non ho mai? Da oggi potrete rispondere "fatto"! In questo episodio Giulia e Claudio hanno invitato Mattiratti e Altea per condividere un po' di Non ho mai in compagnia di amici fidati (forse). Ad esempio: avete mai organizzato un addio al nubilato? E come vi immaginate il vostro? Avete mai mentito sul contenuto della playlist "i miei brani più ascoltati"? E qual è il vostro artista guilty pleasure? Volete suggerimenti sulla canzone da mettere come primo ballo al vostro matrimonio? Meglio non chiedere consiglio a Dj Claves... Ma di questo e molto altro meglio parlarne con Giulia e Claudio a Non ho mai!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Programa polifacético donde los haya y muchas vocesinterviniendo a lo largo de tres horas de radio, nos han ayudadoa estar informados a la par que entretenidos. Una multiplicaciónde temas que son el sello de este magazine que nos ofreceAIRE FRESCO tres veces por semana y que da la oportunidada muchas personas, empresarios, vecinos, colectivos yasociaciones de mostrar sus actividades y darlas a conocer.Hoy, después de una presentación distinta donde ha habidotiempo para hablar de la extinción de la clase media, de laconferencia de Maco Rubio y la incongruente respuesta de laUnión Europea e incluso algunas noticias de máximaactualidad, ha dado comienzo con dos titanes de la solidaridad.José Manuel López y Manu Serrano, ambos en representacióndel centro Doble Amor, han venido a presentarnos el 7º crosssolidario que se celebrará en Benidorm el próximo 10 de mayor.Y no han sido los únicos, porque después lo han hecho otrosdos grandes protagonistas, en este caso en defensa de lanecesidad de seguir hablando de la ELA y que nadie se olvideella.Pero por medio, dos colaboradores, José Antonio Aguilar ysu excelente resumen de BC Negra, el festival de novelanegra recién clausurado en Barcelona, y Pepe PérezSirvent y su capacidad par hacernos entender que la clavedel éxito no está en acumular dinero sino en el equilibrioentre este y el tiempo para poder disfrutarlo. Después, yasí, el bombero y organizar de la Transcostablanca, PaquitoPedrera, y la técnico de la asociación de la ELA de laComunidad Valenciana, María Giménez, nos han recordadola importancia de seguir colaborando para que a estosenfermos no les falte nunca lo más básico, la dignidad, ypara ello hace falta que todos nos impliquemos.Todavía quedaban dos invitados más. Nuestro empresariode la semana sería el primero de ellos, en la figura de JuanRamón Alcalá, director ejecutivo de Climac Instalaciones,una empresa que levanta el vuelo a velocidad de vértigodesde la llegada de nuestro amigo a la empresa, y LaraFluixá, portavoz del proyecto Asociación La escuela delMar, que se pone en marcha a partir de este próximoviernes en la Finca Melitón de Altea la Vella, y que estáplenamente enfocada al mar y los niños. Escúchalo todo,porque no tiene desperdicio.

Fue tal la intensidad de ese 5 de febrero que ya pasará a los anualesdel recuerdo eterno en todo cuanto en el futuro se hable del proyectoAQUA by DNA, que ni siquiera encontramos los 10 minutos quesolemos utilizar para realizar una breve descripción del programa deradio que realizamos en directo para poder publicarlo en nuestrasredes y que tú lo puedas escuchar cuando te apetezca.Tampoco es que sea ningún gran problema. De hecho, el haberloemitido también en directo por nuestro canal de Youtube, nos hapermitido tener esa dosis de tranquilidad al saber que el vídeo está yestará ahí para testimoniar el gran trabajo mediático que se realizó yque la promotora utilizará sin falta en las sucesivas semanas paraexprimir todo cuanto se dijo por boca y acción de la importantecantidad de ilustres invitados que quisieron formar parte de la nóminade atrevidos convencidos de los parabienes del magno proyectoinmobiliario, arquitectónico y cultural.Durante tres horas estuvimos oyendo hablar sobre un proyecto quenació en la ilusión de dos visionarios hace cuatro años, SantiagoAlcarranza y Tore Kotte, al tiempo que alternábamos con la mejormúsica en directo y en exclusiva de Julia Bosca, gran protagonistatambién en la puesta de largo vespertina del magno acto de AQUA,con temas como Black to Black, Dreams as one, Hurt, Step Off oZombie.Una presentación de AQUA sirvió de antecedente a la entrada endirecto de su CEO, Santiago Alcarranza, que nos relató una visiónpanorámica sobre el proyecto en el cual tiene fijada su experiencia eilusión desde hace más de 1.500 días, y que no fue otra cosa que larampa de lanzamiento para seguir escuchando, con los referidosintervalos musicales, al resto de ilustres protagonistas del evento,cogiendo el relevo el arquitecto y urbanista Eduardo Sáez, redactor,entre otras infinitas cuestiones, del PGOU de Altea, vigente en laactualidad. Escucharle es incorporar esa dosis de tranquilidad querequiere cualquiera de estos proyectos que, a veces y depende aquien y porque, suscita determinadas dudas. Anclado al artículo 37 dela LOTUP y con informe de conclusiones del ex director general deurbanismo del gobierno de Ximo Puig, el proyecto se encuentra en elínterin de pasar la prueba del algodón en la ECUV valenciana,estamento intermedio cuyos informes resultan, además dedeterminantes, vinculantes. Toca esperar alguna semana eseveredicto definitivo y final.Cambiamos de tercio y nos fuimos a escuchar a la gran responsablede la enorme creatividad que respira el logo y la imagen de AQUA.Sara Navarro, experta y maestra de estas lides, nos ofreció unvademécum de capacidad y sabiduría. AQUA está, sin duda en lasmejores manos. Como también lo estarán sus cocinas y resto decomplementos necesarios para atender las necesidades de esecliente prime que se espera complete la nómina de 20.000 turistas alaño. Pepe Oliveira, gerente de Creativ Cocinas, fue el encargado,junto a su hija Judith, no sólo de poner voz a su consolidada empresa,apunto de inaugurar un local con 600 m2 cuadrados de exposición enlas próximas semanas en El Albir, sino de estandarte y avanzadilla de..

Buen comienzo de semana. Tres horas de radio completas decontenido y en el que los invitados, además de protagonistas,son quienes más felices se han marchado. No sólo nos ayudana realizar una radio entretenida y productiva, sino que nosfelicitan por ello. Más no se puede pedir.Poco tiempo el que hoy hemos tenido para la presentación,pero sí el suficiente para contribuir, con los últimos datos delmomento, a informar sobre el gravísimo accidente de trenacontecido en el término municipal de Adamuz, en Córdoba.De ahí y sin solución de continuidad, hemos dado el salto a laconversación con el alcalde de Altea, Diego Zaragozí, que havenido en compañía de Germán Manjón, concejal de juventud.Entre ambos nos han ayudado a radiografiar la actualidad de lavilla de Altea, conocer mejor sus proyectos, sus avances, susanhelos y sus perspectivas. Una Villa Blanca que siempre va aser un lujo volver a visitarla sin descanso.Dos empresarios han cogido el relevo. Vicente Jorro y MiguelIllescas, ambos en representación del amplísimo GrupoSoledad, nos ha n demostrado lo que es el conocimiento, elcariño por el trabajo y el respeto por unos valores, los que lafamilia de Juan Ramón y Joaquín han impulsado al GrupoSoledad durante los últimos 30 años, situando la empresa entrelas más importantes de la provincia de Alicante y con tentáculosen toda la geografía española y avances significativos en elterreno internacional.De ahí a escuchar a dos de nuestros habituales colaboradores.Pepe Pérez Sirvent con “Tu Dinero Consciente”, hoy con untema exquisito que te invito a escuchar con mucha atención, yJosé Antonio Aguilar y su “Mundo Noir”, destacando hoy lanovela negra latinoamericana.Hemos puesto el punto y final hablando del Camping Fontsd´Algar en Callosa d´En Sarriá y sus famosos calçots que lospodemos disfrutar cada fin de semana hasta finales de marzo.

En este episodio os cuento cómo estoy diseñando mi nuevo despacho con la ayuda de una inteligencia artificial

El futuro del automóvil, o al menos parte de él, pasa por convertirnos en aficionados al automóvil que disfrutan del viaje. Y no en “simples “conductores”, que buscan ir del punto A al punto B de forma cómoda, rápida y sobre todo segura. Si huyes de las autopistas verás que hay otro país, otros paisajes, otros personajes, otros pueblos y sobre todo, un disfrute de la conducción mucho mayor… aunque no todo son ventajas… Siempre he dicho que las autopistas son las vías más seguras para circular en coche y de recomendar el uso de autopistas de peajes por seguridad y no por velocidad. Así que muchos pensaréis que en este video me contradigo…. Pues no. Insisto, si tu objetivo es llegar rápido, cómodo y seguro de un sitio a otro, y vas en coche, las autopistas son lo mejor. Pero hay otra forma de viajar, esa que tanto me gusta, que tanto hago en moto y en coche y que yo defino, quizás con cierto romanticismo, con una frase: “Cuando el camino es el destino”. Esto de salir simplemente “a conducir”, o de hacer viajes que resultan claramente más largos en tiempo y claramente más reconfortantes en conducción, llevamos muchos años, diría que toda la vida, haciéndolo los que vamos en moto… y ahora cada vez más lo que vamos en coche. Por eso te planteo… ¡Huye de las autopistas! Pero los matices importan: Si tu viaje comienza un viernes después de comer para recorrer de 400 km y llegar a tu casa o a un hotel en la playa, olvídalo: Autopista a saco. Pero supongamos que puedes salir el viernes temprano o, mejor, un día antes y que ese primer día lo vas a dedicar integro al viaje. Tu destino será descubrir otros pueblos, otros paisajes y otras carreteras. Menos tráfico y conducción más amena, pero… Hay un “pero” importante… que a lo mejor no es un “pero” sino la mayor ventaja: Olvida el reloj. Cuenta que puedes llegar a las 5 de la tarde o a las 8 o a las 10. Si viajas con hora… este plan no te interesa. Otra cosa es que programes una hora aproximada, pero la flexibilidad es imprescindible para viajar así. Y viajar así, tiene ventajas: - Vas a disfrutar incluso antes de comenzar el viaje. - Descubrir pueblos con encanto. - Disfrutar de paisajes espectaculares. - Menos tráfico. - Ayudar a la economía rural. - Come sano, come “auténtico”. - Gente sin prisas. - Verdadera conducción. Estas son las ventajas de viajar por carreteras… pero la autopista tiene sus ventajas. Aunque sean vías de “alta velocidad” las autopistas son las vías más seguras por diversos motivos: - No hay coches de frente. Ni choques. Los carriles en los que el tráfico discurre en sentido contrario estás separados por biondas, guardarraíles o “quitamiedos”. - Escapatorias. En caso de distracción en carretera rápido te vas al arcén, a la cuneta o contra un árbol. En una autopistas hay margen para arreglar el despiste. - No hay cruces. Si es una autopista de verdad no hay ni cruces ni rotondas ni nada parecido. - No hay curvas cerradas. Incluso en las modernas autopistas, como la AP36, la tendencia es que no haya tampoco rectas interminables que invian a la distracción, sino curvas muy abiertas pero que te obligan a mantener una cierta atención. - No hay pasos a nivel ni otros obstáculos. En España en los últimos 5 años, 29 personas fallecieron en pasos a nivel ferroviarios. Pasos que, evidentemente, en una autopista no tienes. A mí me gustan y me parece que tienen su encanto… pero también su peligro. - Mayor vigilancia y asistencia. Si te pasa algo en una autopista es fácil que las autoridades o la ayuda llegue muy pronto. En caso de accidente serio, cada minuto cuenta. En resumen, para llegar rápidos, cómodos y seguros, las autopistas, en su defecto las autovías, que son como “autopistas de segunda”, son la mejor opción. Pero… hay otra forma de viajar. Conclusión. Viajar huyendo de las autopistas es más “autentico”, más ameno, más enriquecedor… y más lento. E incluso más peligroso si no entras en el juego de que, por carretera, hay que ir con más calma. Pero vale la pena. Y sí, yo pienso que el futuro del automóvil, como afición, pasa por potenciar este tipo de viajes o este tipo de conducción en la que “el camino es el destino”. Coche del día. Os voy a hablar del BMW 320i E30 Cabrio se produjo a partir de 1987. Porque recuerdo un viaje que hice desde Altea, un pueblo marítimo en la costa este de España, hasta Madrid.

Amanda Colombo"Una locanda rosso lampone"Garzanti Editorewww.garzanti.itSulle sponde del lago Maggiore una locanda spicca per il colore inusuale della sua facciata. Un rosso talmente caldo che, unito al profumo di lampone che emana, crea un'atmosfera magica. Ad attenderli sulla soglia, gli ospiti trovano Ortensia, cuoca e lettrice famelica, che si esprime solo attraverso citazioni di libri letti e mai dimenticati, presi in prestito dalla biblioteca di Verbania. È il luogo in cui Ortensia ha conosciuto Lidia, ora proprietaria di Rosso Lampone, che con pazienza e cura le ha permesso di evadere da un triste passato familiare. Insieme, sono riuscite a trasformare la locanda nella destinazione perfetta per chi vuole cambiare vita. È quello che Cesare, Pietro e Altea sperano che accada. Qui capiscono che, per costruire ponti con l'altro, è prima necessario imparare a conoscere sé stessi. Cesare, uno scrittore di mezza età, si è innamorato per la prima volta, ma non riesce a comunicarlo. Pietro mette alla prova le sue capacità di padre e di marito. Altea vuole riuscire a fidarsi delle persone, anche quelle dalle quali la madre le direbbe di tenersi lontana. Ortensia e Lidia hanno una sola settimana per aiutarli a lavorare sulle paure che li ostacolano. Una settimana al termine della quale ognuno di loro possa fare spazio in valigia alla versione migliore di sé. E perché questo avvenga, anche Rosso Lampone ha qualcosa da dire ai suoi ospiti: una serie di regole ben precise per abitare le sue stanze, all'apparenza difficili da accettare, ma capaci di svelare quanto prezioso sia il tempo. Perché è indubbio che stiamo sprecando quello necessario per vivere in modo autentico noi stessi e gli altri. Amanda Colombo, autrice di Meno male che ci siete voi, tradotto anche in Germania, torna in libreria con una storia felice che traccia un cammino verso ciò che si dovrebbe sempre recuperare: il coraggio di riscoprirsi. Amanda Colombo è laureata in Filosofia con indirizzo in Comunicazioni sociali. Nel 1999 ha sposato il suo libraio di fiducia e oggi gestisce con lui la libreria di famiglia a Legnano. I libri sono la sua casa. Con Garzanti ha pubblicato anche Meno male che ci siete voi (2023), suo romanzo d'esordio.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

El Seat Cupra GT es un coche a menudo olvidado… cuando es un coche muy especial. El único Gran Turismo de la marca, nacido para la competición, que llego a montar una mecánica Lamborghini V10 y quizás, lo más importante de todo, que fue una semilla para la que hoy es una marca de éxito, Cupra. ¿Os apetece repasar conmigo su historia? Os aseguro que vale la pena… Se puede decir que los 90 fueron una época dorada para Seat, desde luego en el terreno deportivo. En 1996, en su segundo año de participación en el Mundial de Rallyes en la categoría de 2 ruedas motrices Seat vence el certamen con su Seat Ibiza Kit Car. Y para celebrarlo lanzan el primer Seat Cupra en 1996 con motor 2 litros de 150 CV y afinado por la propia Seat Sport. Un coche que he podido probar en su momento y luego en varias ocasiones después y es, sin duda, el Seat Ibiza que más me gusta. Cupra viene de “Cup Racing” y quería simbolizar que la pasión por la competición y la deportividad la podíamos disfrutar en nuestros coches del día a día… que bien sonaba entonces, pero sinceramente, ahora suena tan bien como poco creíble. Seat Sport, con el inquieto y muy competente Jaime Puig al frente, no para de hacer proyectos nacionales, internacionales, en rallyes y en circuitos. Francia y Europa en general era un gran mercado para Seat y para dar a conocer la marca, a comienzo de la década de los 2000 se les ocurre la brillante idea de participar en el Campeonato Francés de Superturismos, un certamen con un reglamente que permitía casi todo… y nace el Seat Toledo Silhouette con un chasis multitubular y equipado con un motor central V6 Biturbo de 3 litros y 30 válvulas, con una potencia superior a 470 CV. Consiguieron el subcampeonato gracias al piloto belga Vincent Radermecker. Ferdinand Piech, nada más y nada menos que sobrino del mismísimo Ferdinand Porsche comenzó su carrera, como no, en Porsche, pero luego fue fichado por VW, en realidad por el grupo VAG y llegó a ser consejero y presidente del consejo de administración entre 1993 hasta 2002, cuando fue sustituido por Bernd Pischetsrieder. Con él a los mandos, gran apasionado del Motorsport y de los coches, la marca Audi comenzó a competir de tú a tú con BMW y Mercedes, el grupo VAG se hizo con el control de Bentley y Rolls-Royce y en general, las marcas del grupo Seat incluida, se volcaron en la competición. Con el apoyo de la central, que en ese momento pensaba que Seat podía ser la Alfa Romeo de VW y no quería cerrarla como ahora… otro video pendiente… y con el excelente equipo de Seat Sport con Jaime Puig al frente, Seat Sport decide crear el primer auténtico GT de la marca. ¿Y qué es lo primero que debe tener un GT que se precie? Pues una carrocería y una estética impactante y atractiva. Y Seat tenía un arma, no secreta precisamente, que era Walter de'Silva, uno de mis diseñadores favoritos. En los años 2000 y 2001 Seat había mostrado los prototipos Salsa y Tango, dos propuestas que eran atrevidas y que prefiguraban una nueva generación, pues recordemos que de'Silva fue el responsable del diseño de los Ibiza II, Córdoba, Altea, Toledo III y nada menos que el precioso y “eterno” Seat León I. Y como no, diseñó o participó activamente en el diseño del Seat Cupra GT que se presentó en el Salón de Barcelona de 2003… ¡que espectáculo! Un verdadero superdeportivo con alma de coche de carreras, no en vano estaba basado o al menos inspirado, en el citado Toledo Silhouette. Un Seat dispuesto a competir con Ferrari, Lamborghini o Porsche. De este coche hay mucho que contar. Como digo tanto el chasis multitubular, adaptado a la nueva carrocería más baja y ancha, como el motor, eran derivados o inspirados en el citado Toledo GT. El motor era el V6 de origen Audi de 2.995 cm3, para los más entendidos diré que curiosamente de carrera larga, 82,5 x 92,8, con dos turbos Garret doble Intercooler y 475 CV a 6.200 rpm… Contaba con un cambio secuencial nada menos que un Hewland de 6 marchas y diferencial autoblocante, tarado en aceleración a un 90 por ciento, casi como si fuese un kart. Los frenos eran AP Racing, de lo mejor del momento y el peso de apenas 1.100 kg. El Seat Cupra GT no llegó tan lejos, pero sí tuvo una segunda oportunidad en 2006. Seat Sport cedió los coches de competición al eficiente equipo Sun-Red capitaneado por un ex Seat Sport, el ingeniero Joan Orús. Para adaptarlo al nuevo reglamento hubo que hacer algunas modificaciones de calado, como estrecharlo, pues era de una anchura notable, 2,11 metros, y se limitó a solo 2 metros exactos. Y un pequeño detalle: Cambiar el motor original por un V10 atmosférico de 5 litros y cerca de 600 CV procedente de Lamborghini que ya en este momento, formaba parte del grupo VAG. Este coche consiguió un par de podios con nada menos que Gené acompañado de Vivancos… pero todos esperábamos más.
