If people spent less time arguing and more time making love...the world would surely be a better place. Despite the trials and tribulations of the economic crisis, love is one of the few things in the world that is still free. Financially, many countries are still in a mess but 'el amor' as a kindly force amongst people will never die. .. The real deal? Yes! '24/7 Valencia' is a magazine that has a real love for Valencia and has stuck by it through thick and thin, which is the true test of anything you really believe in. Now in its 14th year, 24/7 Valencia is recommended by the local, national and international press. This includes The Times, El País, Time Out, Let's Go, Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Levante-EMV, Super Deporte, CNN.com and many more... In this loved-up February edition, we have an expert review of the classy Mar D'Avellanes restaurant, a perfect place to enjoy a Saint Valentine's dinner. After dining out, why not check out the article by DJ John Treacy with his round-up of cool live music spots that he and his girlfriend are currently enjoying. We have an exclusive article on the once overlooked 'Distrito 008', which centres on the barrios of Botanico & Juan Llorens and is continuing to grow in terms of bohemian tapas bars, clubs,
live music nights, workshops, events and more. In contrast to the alternative actvities of the aformentioned district, we have an exclusive report on the 'posh' Mercado Colon in the Ensanche area of town. Check out our packed February listings of Chill Out, Traditional Pubs, Clubs, Bars, Restaurants, Shopping, Classifieds and more. Gig goers and clubbers can enjoy a packed agenda of live music and club nights at the back. Those of you who enjoy dancing until well past the dawn can also enjoy photos of '24/7 Valenca Party People' at La Rambleta. We dedicate this issue to the late, great Donna Summer and we send love and peace to all the locals, expats and visitors who have supported us over the years. Many thanks! Love comes in many colours... “When you're laying so close to me There's no place I'd rather you be than with me, uh... Do it to me again and again You put me in such a awful spin, in a spin...”
