  • Cannes Film Festival - The Festival de Cannes in May, privileged venue of meetings and discoveries, is the most important film event in the world. Its success and development have turned it into a vast city in which one may sometimes get lost: 30,000 professionals are accredited each and every year at the Festival or Marché du Film, including 1,000 directors, 4,000 distributors, 5,000 producers and 4,000 journalists.

  • Olympics - Beijing

  • Tomatina Bunol, Valencia - On the last Wesneday of August for two hours, the otherwise sober citizens of the tiny village of Bunol pelt each other with red ripe tomatoes. Go join the fun!
