Bon dia! Desperteu-vos que les campanes de Sant Joan fa estona que toquen i aquest és l'Infopòdcast de Valls d'aquest dimecres 18 de febrer. Comencem el nostre capítol informatiu explicant-vos que La Cambra de Comerç i Indústria de Valls i Vallsgenera presenten la tercera edició de la Fira de l'Ocupació de Valls i l'Alt Camp. L'esdeveniment tindrà lloc el dijous 16 d'abril, en horari de 9h a 13.30h i de 15h a 18.30h, al Pavelló Xavi Tondo i Volpini. Es tracta d'un espai que ofereix les sinèrgies necessàries entre el teixit empresarial en cerca de talent i les persones que busquen oportunitats laborals. A més de l'espai d'estands empresarials, l'esdeveniment comptarà amb un ampli dispositiu d'orientació i assessorament.Les empreses interessades poden inscriure's a la Fira a través de la pàgina web de la Cambra de Comerç de Valls o de Vallsgenera, fins al 10 d'abril. Anem a l'atenció comunitària. El proper dijous 19 de febrer es posarà en marxa la vuitena edició de l'Escola de Persones Cuidadores. Es tracta d'un espai de formació i suport adreçat a familiars i professionals que tenen cura de persones en situació de dependència. El programa inclou 12 sessions, que aniran a càrrec de diversos professionals de l'àmbit de la salut, social i esportiu, i tindran lloc els dijous de 15.15h a 17.15 h al Casal Cívic Municipal de Ca Xapes. L'Escola de Persones Cuidadores oferirà tallers pràctics, sessions informatives i espais d'intercanvi d'experiències per millorar el benestar físic i emocional de les persones cuidadores, així com eines per afrontar el dia a dia amb més seguretat i confiança.Seguim amb Carnaval. Aquest Dimecres de Cendra s'acaba al Carnaval amb el seguici fèretre de Sa Majestat el Rei Carnestoltes i la baixada de la Geganta Quaresma. La comitiva arrencarà, a les 19h, des de davant del local social de la Unió Anelles de la Flama, amb la cercavila de la Vella Quaresma. En el seu pas per la placeta de l'1 d'octubre, es recolliran les despulles del Carnestoltes, el qual serà cremat a la plaça del Blat. L'acte mantindrà la col·laboració de la Societat de Sant Antoni. Tot seguit, la Quaresma donarà 49 voltes sobre si mateixa per acabar amb la disbauxa i inaugurar el període de penitència. La geganta de la Vella Quaresma és un element nou, però basat en una tradició antiga que estava perduda en l'oblit. Per les festes de Carnaval de 1988, concretament el Dimecres de Cendra, la geganta va sortir per primera vegada al carrer després de l'enterro del rei Carnestoltes, acompanyada per un nombrós grup de timbalers. I acabem amb esports. El Patronat Municipal d'Esports informa que la propera sortida de Marxa Nòrdica està prevista pel diumenge 8 de març amb punt d'inici al poble de Lilla. Es tracta d'una ruta circular d'uns 9 quilòmetres que travessarà dues comarques, la Conca de Barberà i l'Alt Camp, fins arribar als 785 metres d'altitud del cim de la Cogulla de Miramar. Les inscripcions es poden tramitar a la pàgina web del Patronat. I això és tot per avui. L'Infopòdcast Valls és una coproducció de Ràdio Ciutat de Valls i La Xarxa de Comunicació Local. Moltes gràcies per la seva atenció i fins demà.
Dejamos atrás Perarrúa y el frío del pirineo oscense, y le vamos a meter zapatilla al Seat 131 Supermirafiori. Bajamos por la N-230, cruzamos Lleida saludando a los caracoles, y seguimos bajando hasta la comarca de la Conca de Barberà. Tras unos 148 kilómetros clavados, llegamos a nuestro destino: Vimbodí i Poblet. Este municipio tarraconense tiene, según el INE de 2023, 884 habitantes. ¡Clavado en la horquilla que buscábamos! Su gentilicio es vimbodinenc o vimbodinenca, que parece un trabalenguas para saber si ya vas borracho. El nombre del pueblo suena a bufete de abogados o a dúo cómico: "Vimbodí i Poblet". Y es que son dos núcleos, Vimbodí (el pueblo en sí) y Poblet (donde está el monasterio), que decidieron juntarse para ahorrar en folios membretados. Geográficamente está a los pies de las Montañas de Prades y el Bosque de Poblet, un paraje natural protegido que es una maravilla si te gusta ver árboles y no gente, que es a lo que venimos aquí. Históricamente, este sitio es "pata negra". Los orígenes de Vimbodí se remontan a la reconquista (siglo XII), cuando Ramón Berenguer IV (que ya ha salido en el programa más que el propio presentador) le da estas tierras a los monjes del Císter. Y los monjes, que tontos no eran, dijeron: "aquí vamos a montar el chiringuito". Y vaya chiringuito. El patrimonio aquí es de Champions League: Monasterio de Poblet: Es Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Es el monasterio cisterciense habitado más grande de Europa. Aquí están enterrados un montón de reyes de la Corona de Aragón, incluido nuestro amigo, el omnipresente Jaume I el Conquistador. Si no está Jaume I en la historia de tu pueblo, tu pueblo no existe. Museo y Horno del Vidrio (Museu i Forn del Vidre): Resulta que Vimbodí fue la capital del vidrio soplado en Cataluña a principios del siglo XX. Tienen un maestro vidriero que te hace una demostración en directo. Soplar vidrio, que tiene mucho mérito, no como soplar en un control de la Guardia Civil, que eso tiene multa. Calle de los Abrazos (Carrer de les Abraçades): Es una de las calles más estrechas de España. Se llama así porque si te cruzas con alguien, o te abrazas o no pasas. O eso, o te pegas un barrigazo. En cuanto a leyendas y tradiciones, tienen el "Drac de Vimbodí", una bestia de fuego que sacan en las fiestas y que tiene fama de ser más viejo que el hilo negro. Sus fiestas principales son en agosto (como media España) en honor a San Salvador, pero la más curiosa es la Festa del Vidre (Fiesta del Vidrio) en octubre, donde se juntan artesanos y se ponen a soplar como lobos feroces. Gastronómicamente, aquí se estilan las cocas de recapte y, por supuesto, el vino de la DO Conca de Barberà.

Filippo Conca races in the Maglia Tricolore with UCI WorldTeam Jayco–AlUla - but just three months ago, that seemed like a distant dream. Out of contract at the end of 2024, he found salvation in SWATT club, an Italian amateur team known for offering cyclists a fresh start with a mix of road and gravel racing. In this podcast, Filippo explains how it feels to win an Italian national road race championship as what he calls ‘a normal rider', how his engine was suited to gravel racing, what he has planned for the end of this season and his goals in 2026. His is a story of resilience, redemption, and victory - it's a bit like a movie. www.sigmasports.com EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/unplugged Learn more about your ad choices.

Palermo's legendary Conca d'Oro was once a lush mosaic of citrus groves, vegetables, and ingenious water systems — a living example of regenerative agriculture centuries before the term existed. Today, only fragments remain, but they still hold powerful lessons for the future of farming, biodiversity, and ecosystem restoration.In this episode, we meet Tommaso La Mantia, ecologist, farmer, and member of the Valdibella Cooperative, who has spent his life studying and caring for these unique gardens. Tommaso explains how the Conca d'Oro worked like a natural forest: layered crops, closed nutrient cycles between animals, plants, and soil, and irrigation systems so advanced that they still impress modern scientists. He also shares why sustainable farming here now faces serious threats — from climate stress and honey fungus (Armillaria) to urban sprawl and political neglect — and what it will take to revive this heritage.You'll hear surprising insights into how soil health and nutrient density were once safeguarded through circular systems, why farmers are forced to become water engineers, and how agroecology is inspiring a new generation of young Sicilians. At the heart of the conversation is Tommaso's deeply personal story of learning from his father in the fields and his hope that Palermo will rediscover its roots before they are lost.Follow the podcast for more stories from the Valdibella mini-series, and share this episode with a friend who cares about the future of food and farming.⎯⎯⎯⎯❤️ This podcast was produced in partnership with Soil Capital, a company that supports #regenerativeagriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health & biodiversity.⎯⎯⎯⎯
As the recent deadly floods in Central Texas remind us, Nature bats last. There seem to be a growing number of severe weather-related disasters that kill many people and lay waste to towns and communities. But what happens after the floods, as communities make plans to repair the damages? Why does rebuilding often become the trigger of intense and extended political and social struggle, sometimes lasting many years? Dr. Ken Conca, Emeritus Professor of Environment, Development and Health at American University in Washington, DC, decided to follow the planning process in a flood-prone town in which he lived. He has just published After the Floods--The Search for Resilience in Ellicott City (Oxford University Press) a study that offers a blow-by-blow account of these struggles and elucidates his explanation for why the arise and persist, long after the water has vanished.Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Dr. Conca about his book and his broader conclusions about community planning for inclement weather and climate change, especially “after the floods.”
Natural wine is a growing movement in Catalonia, rooted in both tradition and innovation. With diverse terroirs and a long winemaking history, regions such as Penedès, Alt Empordà, Conca de Barberà and Terra Alta & Priorat have become hubs for natural winemakers. This week on Filling the Sink we find out what natural wine is, who is making it and why Catalonia is gaining recognition on the global natural wine scene. Producer Rafa Camps from La Natural describes the challenges of small-scale natural wine production, including climate change and spontaneous fermentation. Experts Benji Sher and Ida Mogren from the natural wine education centre SucSuc explain the philosophy behind natural wine, rooted in ethics and sustainability. We visit the natural wine restaurant Amateur in Barcelona to meet owner Marco Bolatti and chef Tomás Esmoris and discover the cuisine and aesthetic which accompany the Catalan natural wine boom and which appeal to younger, less traditional wine drinkers. Plus reporter Cillian Shields joins host Beth Cohen to review some key natural wine terminology and discuss the up-and-coming natural wine bars in Barcelona. This week, our Catalan phrase is “Bon vi fa bon cor” - “Good wine makes a good heart”. It's a classic saying which expresses the belief that wine, enjoyed in moderation, brings joy and warmth to the soul.

One small town, two "thousand-year floods" in the span of two years: how does a community become resilient in the face of the ever-increasing risks of climate change?Small towns across America and around the world face mounting challenges with flood risk, a result of not only climate change but also poorly adapted landscapes, sprawl, overdevelopment and poor planning. After the Floods: The Search for Resilience in Ellicott City (Oxford UP, 2024) is about Ellicott City, a small town in central Maryland that experienced two devastating flash floods just 22 months apart. Despite the town's many advantages—wealth, access to expertise, a mobilized community, and a stout identity steeped in 250 years of history—Ellicott City found itself mired in a deeply divisive argument over what to do in the aftermath. As a resident, Ken Conca bore firsthand witness to the conflict that took root when the flood waters receded.While this book is about one residential suburb, the dilemmas that it faces over how to adapt to climate change are coming soon to a small town near you. On one level a story about re-engineering a landscape, After the Floods ultimately grapples with uncertainty over local history, justice, democracy, and identity. What can we know about future risks to our communities? What is the meaning of place and history when preservation goals come into conflict with flood protection? What should we protect? Who gets to speak for the community? In Ellicott City's search for answers, we can find important lessons for other small communities that must begin preparing for future climate risks. This interview was conducted by Dr. Hannah Pool whose research focuses on human mobilities. She is a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it was a tough couple days for the Rapids Community. We banter about Indianapolis potentially being a target for MLS Expansion. Then we address Chido Awaziem accusing Sergi Palencia of using derogatory language towards the end of Tuesday's game. We address the possibility that it was racist in nature. We recap the 0-0 draw against St. Louis CITY and the 1-0 loss to LAFC in Conca Champions. No shots on goal in either game. Colorado have been in the Concacaf Champions Cup or the equivalent five times in their history. They've never advanced from the round/group in which they've entered. No other MLS team has been in CCL/CCC that many times and not advanced in a round. Brutal. Then we preview FC Dallas in the home opener and talk about Lalas Abubakar.

Much has changed since our original 2017 episode (199) on Cava and Spanish sparkling wine. It's time for a refresh and an update! Photo: Cava cork. Credit: cava.wine In this episode we fill you in on the roller coaster the DO has been on since 2017 and where it stands today. The story shows how Spain has moved from just being ON the radar of international wine buyers to moving to a level of sophistication that demands its regions have the kind of terroir focus of the other great wine nations of the Old World – France, Italy, Germany, and Austria, to name a few. We review the regulations, changes, and the strife in the region and discuss what to seek out to get the best of these highly accessible, delicious, and decidedly Spanish wines. Here are the show notes... The Basics We start with the statistics on Cava -- it encompasses 38,133 ha/94,229 acres and made 253 MM bottles in 2021 91% of Cava is white, 9% is rosado (rosé) Various zones produce the wine, but Penedés is the heart of Cava production, with more than 95% of total output We discuss the early history of the area, beginning with the first sparkling production in 1872 with Josep Raventós to the point where the DO is formed in 1991 – we leave the modern history until later, as complex and muddled as it is! Map: The overly spread out regions of Cava. Credit: Cava DO We then get into the grapes and winemaking: Whites: Since most Cava is white, the white grapes dominate. Most important are the indigenous grapes, Macabeo (Viura, the white of Rioja), Xarel-lo, and Parellada. Chardonnay is also authorized, as well as Subirat Parent (Malvasia) for semi-sweet and sweet Cava. Photo: Macabeo. Credit: D.O. Cava Reds: Used for rosado (rosé), native grapes are Garnacha (Grenache), Trepat, and Monastrell (Mourvèdre). The Cava DO authorized Pinot Noir for use in rosado in 1998 Winemaking: We discuss the vineyard requirements for the making of quality Cava, including the importance of gentle picking and transport to the winery to prevent oxidation We briefly review the Traditional Method (Champagne Method) of winemaking, which is how all Cava is made Photo: Riddled Cava, ready for disgorgement.. Credit: D.O. Cava We discuss the aging qualifications for Cava, Cava Reserva, Cava Gran Reserva, and Cava Paraje Calificada that range from a minimum nine months to several years, and what each style yields We review the various dosage levels so you know what to look for: “Brut Nature” - no added sugar Cava Extra Brut – very little sugar Cava Brut: Slightly more added sugar in the dosage, sugar is barely noticeable Cava Extra Seco: heavier mouthfeel, noticeable sugar Cava Seco: Dessert level, very sweet Semi Seco: Even sweeter Dulce – Super sweet We discuss why Cava is such a big mess, with much infighting in its modern history, and why not all sparkling Spanish wine is created the same: We talk about the first fissures in Cava, with the 2012 break off of Cava OG producer Raventós i Blanc leaving the Cava DO because the quality standards were too low -Vino de la tierra Conca de l'Anoia (their own site) Photo: Raventós i Blanc Rosado, Vino de la Tierra We discuss the 2015 formation of The Association of Wine Producers and Growers Corpinnat (AVEC) or Corpinnat. We define the group and talk about its requirements for the small member producers: Mission: Create a distinguished, excellent quality, terroir-driven sparkling wine based solely on Penedès, rather than far flung regions that make lesser wine. To raise the profile of Cava from cheap shit to good stuff Photo: Corpinnat corks. Credit: Corpinnat Website Corpinnat Requirements At least 75% of the grapes must be from vineyards owned by the winery, wine must be made on the premises of the winery Minimum price paid for livable wages to the growers Certified organic and hand harvested grapes 90% of the grapes must be indigenous varieties: Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada for whites, Garnacha, Trepat, Monastrell, for reds. 18 months minimum aging **By design: Cava's three biggest producers can't meet the requirements: Cordoniu, Freixenet and García Carrión – which is why Corpinnat started in the first place, to raise the quality standard and allow smaller producers a voice Corpinnat members (2022): Gramona, Llopart, Recaredo, Sabaté i Coca, Nadal, Torelló, Can Feixas, Júlia Bernet, Mas Candi, Can Descregut, Pardas We discuss the qualifications of the Cava Paraje Calificado classification, created by the Cava DO in 2017 for single-estate sparkling wines with a vineyard designation, lower yield, and a longer aging period Cava de Paraje Calificado requirements include specifications for: lower yield, manual harvest, minimum fermentation time in the bottle at 36 months. Vines must be at least 10 years old and the wine must be produced locally in the same winery that grows the grapes. Issues: Includes the large wineries' estate vineyards and (originally) some smaller ones but doesn't address the issue of quality or cohesive terroir/flavor. It's like a medal system – here are our best wines! Photo: Paraje Califado Cava -- Can Sala, Freixenet Disastrous conclusion: The Cava Paraje Calificada was the solution to the Corpinnat – it was meant to be more inclusive. But Corpinnat was supposed to be a new small producer/ quality designation within Cava. Because it excludes large producers, the DO wouldn't allow Cava and Corpinnat on the same label, and Corpinnat left the DO. They cannot use Cava, or Gran Reserva on their labels. Of the 12 wines approved as CPC in 2017, 5 aren't CPC anymore, only Corpinnat We address most recent regulations of Cava in 2020 The Cava Regulatory Council approved new zoning of the Cava DO. We review the subzones that are supposed to create a better delimitation for consumers: Comtats de Barcelona - 95%+ of Cava production Includes Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the "capital of Cava" – where the first bottles of Cava were produced in 1872 Location: In Catalonia, in northeast Spain. Along the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona Climate: Mediterranean climate, slight variations inland versus coast but mostly long summer, lots of sun, hot summer and spring - easy to ripen grapes, lots of different grapes thrive Land: Diverse terrain – various exposures, orientation, altitudes, and microclimates Five Sub-zones (used for Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava, more limited yields, organic viticulture, vineyards 10+ years old): Valls d'Anoia Foix, Serra de Mar, Conca del Gaià, Serra de Prades and Pla de Ponent Each has a slightly different character – some more at elevation, some farther from the sea – slight variations in flavors and what grows where Map: Detail of the Comtats de Barcelona Cava Zone. Credit: Cava DO The Ebro Valley area Northernmost part of the DO, far in the interior, near and influenced by the river Ebro Climate: Temperate, continental climate – summers are hot and dry with cold winters Two subzones (used for Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava, more limited yields, organic viticulture, vineyards 10+ years old): the Alto Ebro around Rioja, Navarra, and the Basque area of Álava and the Cierzo Valley Sub Zone. The Cierzo is near the Aragonese city of Zaragoza in the central area of the Ebro River, with strong regional winds (the Cierzo) to dry out the area Map: Detail of the Ebro River Valley Cava Zone. Credit: Cava DO Smaller zones: Levante: (Eastern Highlands, no official name yet), in interior of Valencia province, with a dry Mediterranean to semi continental climate depending on whether altitude) Viñedos de Almendralejo (Almendralejo vineyards): Fairly flat, southwestern-most part of the DO. A very dry, hot climate, with warm wind, known as the solano We end with an update of where Cava is today (hint: it's huge and growing, it's trying to improve by moving towards organics, it's still fighting against Corpinnat) and what could be the next step for Corpinnat too. A fascinating show that takes you on the wild ride that the region and wine has been on since we first discussed it those many years ago. __________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Wine Spies uncovers incredible wines at unreal prices - on every type of wine in a variety of price points.
