The Duchess - Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes

Body of Lies - Leonardo DiCaprio, Russel Crowe

Ghost Town - Ricky Gervais, Téa Leoni, Greg Kinnear

La DuquesaBasada en la obra biográfica escrita por Amanda Foreman sobre la duquesa de Devonshire, aristócrata extravagante, derrochadora y promiscua, con una vida llena de intrigas políticas y románticas.

Like her direct descendent Princess Diana, Georgina Duchess of Devonshire was a glamorous royal, much loved by the public. While her attractiveness and charm afforded her popularity, the intelligent and vulnerable Duchess was trapped within a loveless marriage to one of the country’s richest men. Rebelling against the establishment, Georgina became active campaigner for the liberal party and in turn, romantically involved with Earl Grey, leading her through tragedy, self-discovery and redemption.

Though this thriller is the fourth collaboration between Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe, it marks the veteran director’s first pairing with Leonardo DiCaprio. In this adaptation of a novel by David Ignatius, DiCaprio plays a CIA agent who wants the help of a more experienced agent (Crowe) in his investigation of a Jordanian terrorist.

Red de MentirasRoger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) es el mejor agente de campo del que dispone el

Servicio de Inteligencia de los Estados Unidos en lugares donde una vida humana vale tanto como la información que puede proporcionarte. En diferentes operaciones que le llevan por todo el mundo, la vida de Ferris depende a menudo de la voz que escucha

al otro lado de una línea de teléfono segura, el veterano de la CIA Ed Hoffman.

Deadpan hilarity and quirky charm come alive in Ghost Town, starring Britain’s favourite comedian Ricky Gervais (The Office) as social reject Bertram Pincus. Emmy award winner and seven times Bafta winner Gervais proves his Hollywood worth in this transatlantic feel good love story about a man, a woman and a ghost. Pincus is a New York City dentist with horrendous people skills. When a routine surgery goes awry, Pincus is pronounced dead, but is miraculously revived seven minutes later.

¡Me ha caído el muerto! Un dentista muere durante unos segundos durante una operación dental rutinaria. A partir de ese momento, tiene la habilidad de ver a gente muerta que le pide ayuda para contactar con los vivos.

The old Molino del Conde (The Count’s Mill) with recorded

references dating back to the XVII century, has been transformed into a group of buildings devoted to the enjoyment of the wonders of Andalusian gastronomy, a place where authentic settings and traditional cuisine join in perfect harmony.

This old flour mill and bakery, worked by the waters of the Arroyo Dulce, has been part of the Condado de Castellar (Castellar County) for four centuries, a title which is nowadays owned by the Casa Ducal de Medinaceli.

It was the privilege of Señorío de Castellar de la Frontera to grind wheat in this mill, both for the consumption of the Count himself and for the villagers, who were to pay for it in the form of

“maquila” (an old system of paying with flour). Today, after careful restoration, we can offer in either of our two dining-rooms, with open fireplaces and a cosy atmosphere, our delicious traditional Mediterranean gastronomy. We have chosen some of the dishes that represent a wide and significant range of Andalusian food.

El Antiguo Molino del Conde cuyas referencias documentadas datan del siglo XVII es actualmente un espacio dedicado al recreo

gastronómico en el que intentamos compaginar un tipo de cocina tradicional con un auténtico sabor autóctono.

Este Molino harinero y antigua Tahona impulsado por el agua del Arroyo Dulce ha formado parte desde hace cuatro siglos del Condado de Castellar, título que actualmente ostenta la casa Ducal de Medinaceli.

Privilegio concedido al Señorío de Castellar de la Frontera era el de moler grano en este molino, bien el perteneciente al conde, bien el de los propios vecinos mediante la antigua fórmula comercial de la

“Maquila” (pago con parte de la propia harina).

Hoy, después de una cuidadosa rehabilitación, podemos ofrecer en cualquiera de nuestros dos comidores y al abrigo del hogar de las chimeneas o si el tiempo lo permite, en nuestro patio, la desgustación de nuestra cocina mediterránea tradicional de la que hemos recogido algunos de los platos que componen el amplio abanico de la cocina andaluza.

También le ofrecemos la posibilidad de realizar todo tipo de celebraciones en el Jardín bajo las carpas que hemos dispuesto para esta clase de eventos.

Todos los viernes a paritr de las 21h Flamenco, a la luz de las velas, en la Taberna de Tapas del Molino del Conde.

The old grinding area is now a typical Andalusian bar (mesón) where one can try cured meats, cheese and other delicacies such as smoked foods, or simply have a drink in a cosy atmosphere. In summer, or weather permitting, you can enjoy the cool of the evening on our patio whilst your meal is being prepared on our charcoal grill.

In the garden, underneath our awning, we can also offer you the possibility of organising and celebrating any kind of events.

Come and enjoy our Flamenco nights- every Friday from 9pm.

Full pack includes drinks during the performance in the tavern, dinner in the mill’s dining room and transport in minibuses (min 4 pers) all for 55€

Commencing Monday February 2nd 2009. 8.30pm Call now to reserve your ‘Mat’

Initial 10 week course with Andrea Young, UK qualified CVQ level 3 Pilates Instructor.Men on Mats is different from other workouts you may be trying. It focuses on the muscles men use most and strengthens those to give your body the power to get in shape and become fit. “Imagine your torso as a tree trunk”, and your arms and legs as the branches. When a tree is weak in the trunk, the branches tend to break when the tree sways. That’s why keeping your torso (your tree trunk) strong is essential to good quality of movement

Men on Mats is a Pilates Mat work class; done on the floor and standing. All the exercises are easy to do and are great for Pilates beginners or for those of you who have done Pilates before. There is a new way to exercise waiting just for you. All movement originates in the centre of your body, your Powerhouse. Every time you stand up, sit down, turn, twist or roll you engage your torso, abs, lower back, hips, inner thighs, and glutes. Pilates improves your posture and stamina. Every Pilates exercise strengthens and uses your Powerhouse for control and balance. If you’re not using your Powerhouse, it’s not Pilates! Men on Mats can improve posture, balance, stability, flexibility, coordination, endurance and functional strength.It is intrinsic to every move you make Your Powerhouse is at the centre of every movement you make. It’s this concentration on your Powerhouse that makes Pilates so unique and effective. Thousands of athletes, dancers and everyday people alike have discovered the benefits of developing their Powerhouse. Pilates promotes greater blood flow to the deep muscles that support your spine, thus improving your endurance, strength, and precision of motion.

Men who have incorporated Pilates into their routine have experienced greater flexibility in all their joints, heightened range of motion and improved accuracy and pliancy in every motion their everyday lives. Is Pilates for men different than Pilates for women? If you start learning Pilates by taking classes, you might find that women outnumber men by quite a bit. That demographic is changing, and there are many more men in Pilates now, but as yet it’s far from the norm which is a shame as it is often off-putting and misleading to men and has given rise to the myth that Pilates is a “woman only” exercise. People forget that Pilates was created by a man for men. The first practitioners of Pilates were soldiers, boxers, and athletes. There is nothing specifically different about Pilates training for men, especially in the beginning. The ‘Pilates method’ is the same for all, founded on healthy movement principles for the human body in general. The Male pelvis is slightly smaller than a female’s and men might find that their muscles are a little tighter than women’s, especially in the hips and hamstrings, but whilst men have some different physical structures than women, they still require the same benefits of regular exercise. This lack of range of motion could be why most men at some time in their lives experience some form of back pain. The good news is that, Pilates exercises can be easily modified to allow those areas to stretch out gradually. Modification of exercises is common place and good practise in Pilates, allowing it to meet a variety of needs in all participants, which includes men, even within a general group class.

Core strength, flexibility, balance, uniform development and efficient movement patterns are all hallmarks of Pilates training and highly relevant to men’s fitness. Pilates can be especially beneficial for men, whose workouts often emphasize a part-by-part approach to muscular development, such as one finds in weight training. Pilates, emphasises moving from the centre of the body, and developing core strength in the deep muscles of the centre to stabilise the trunk and protect the back. This kind of core training makes Pilates an excellent technique for whole-body fitness, as well as an excellent foundation for other kinds of sports and exercise. Increasing flexibility is a goal that Pilates addresses in a way that men can feel comfortable with. Pilates works toward functional fitness. That is, the ability to have the strength, balance, and flexibility that allows one to move through daily life and tasks with ease. To this end, Pilates exercises do seek to increase flexibility and range of motion, but one won’t find the kind of contortionist stretches in Pilates that one might find in gymnastics or some forms of yoga. Both men and women begin to notice a difference in how their bodies feel as they age and that they are unable to perform the same kind of exercise they did when younger. As such they can both benefit from more stretching to increase mobility; core strengthening for stronger backs and better posture and exercise that is gentle on their joints. Pilates can provide all these things.

Men specifically who are young and fit and already active and strong may have inadvertently traded bulking up for lack flexibility, and or seek to gain functional strength and mobility. Perhaps they want to improve performance in sport or their muscular endurance. Maybe they are bored with their routines and want to add some variety. Pilates can breathe some life back into their fitness regime.

Men, who have already made changes to their health routine and lost a large amount of weight, inevitably want to move on to the next step and tone their mid sections. Pilates, with all its attention to building stronger abs, is a perfect addition to their already successful weight loss. The reasons for seeking out Pilates for men may be different, but they can all benefit from a Pilates regime.

Men On Mats Men on Mats is a general class aimed at the average healthy adult male. Anyone with ongoing, serious and specific problems originating from trauma, surgery or other symptoms should consult their doctor and/or physiotherapist before undertaking a Pilates class.

Private, client specific training sessions are available by appointment.

In the case of those clients who have a specific biomechanical condition; you will need to have the permission of the relevant Medical Practitioner and provide a clear history of you particular condition and any medical guidelines you have received in relation to exercise, to ensure a safe and effective exercise experience.

When you hit the slopes this season the last thing on your mind is any thought of injury. Thinking just because you go to the

gym weekly means you are fit to ski/board is not correct. These are high risk sports and need correct preparation.

Types of injuries sustained:

Snowboards usually fall forwards or backwards, putting shoulders, wrists and spine at risk.Skies tend to fall sideways and backwards. The boots and bindings increase the torsional stress on the knees. Poles can also cause thumbs to be damaged during a fall. Skiing injuries can differ according to the expertise of the skier. Beginners in snowplough positions strain the ligaments of the inside knee. Those with more experience put huge pressure on their cartilages and knee caps by having to endure extreme ranges of flexion under load. At greater speeds turns produce rotational forces straining the crucial and lateral ligaments of the knee.

The preparation:

With both skiing and snowboarding, fitness requirements are multi-faceted, agility, endurance, strength, flexibility, quick reactions and balance are all needed. Any fitness for skiing regime must include good levels of cardio vascular fitness, strength training especially for the thigh or quadriceps muscle, upper limbs and core body (abdominal).

suggested exercises:

Static bicycling and step workouts

Strength training snowboarders especially, spend long periods of time in fixed flexion they need good

“holding” strength in their quadriceps (thighs). The best exercises for this is the sitting wall squat in different levels of flexion. Try to mimic the stance adopted while you are boarding or skiing, lean further forward away from the wall a little. Hold this stance for 30 seconds then 1min and finally 2mins.

Snowboarders can mimic their action also, using touch balance with their hands whilst squatting on the balls of their feet.

Step exercises to strengthen the medical part of the quadriceps. Remember strong quadriceps muscles give extra strength and stability to the knee.

Swiss ball exercises: (counteracts the falling backwards, loss of balance). Lie face upwards over a Swiss ball, curl upwards with head and body to neutral position.

Shoulder girdle exercises: reduces risk of injury to shoulders when falling forwards. Stand facing a wall and fall onto out-stretched arms, with arms slightly bent at the elbows.

Flexibility exercises: before and after skiing all the major muscles should be stretched i.e. front thigh, back thigh, calf, inner leg, lower back and shoulders.

listen to your body – Tips & Advice

Pace yourself. Fatigue plays a big part in injuries on the slopes.

Consider the day as a double gym session, warm up, work out and cool down during each session.

Do not save hardest run till last.

If something does not feel right, investigate, an ill fitting boot can cause injury to the front of your leg and ruin the rest of your holiday.

Consider lessons if you have not skied for awhile.

Learn how to fall correctly to prevent injury.

An exCepTionAl vineYARdAfter running out of the 2006 grape variety and being left with a short supply for at least four months, the 2007 variety appeared from Tres Picos. The grape for this exceptional wine is a garnacha (purplish grape) unique from the old vineyards situated within the rugged foothills of Moncayo.Made with the cooperation of Borsao, this wine cellar is situated within the D.O. Campo of Borja which belongs to the community of Aragón, who grow the best of the garnacha grape, an indigenous variety spread throughout Spain, just like the tempranillo grape. The cooperation manages a widespread vineyard of 2500h. and from here they select the best vines for this wine. Once again this shows that managing a large volume can still have the means to create good produce and quality.A short process in the production, allows the development of an intense colour, rich and aromatic with a large concentration of flavours like blackberries, strawberries, vanilla and plums, with hints of leather. It is full bodied with a lingering after taste.

Un viÑedo exCepCionAlTras agotarse la añada 2006 y habiendo escaseado durante más de cuatro meses, aparece la añada del 2007 de Tres Picos. La uva de este excepcional vino es una garnacha única procedente de unos viñedos viejos situados en terrenos accidentados situados en las estribaciones del Moncayo. Elaborado por la cooperativa de Borsao, la bodega está instalada en la D.O.

CASTELLAR DE LA FRONTERA: RURAL, CULTURAL AND GOLF TOURISM

Castellar de la Frontera is well known as a perfect area for the practise of rural tourism. Its location within Los Alcornocales Natural

Park makes this village an ideal place to enjoy this type of tourism and all the activities related to it: hiking, sports about nature, horse riding tracks, bird watching, excursions on bicycles and other activities held in the open air.

Along with rural tourism, cultural tourism can also be enjoyed, as Castellar has important monuments that belong to the past that are worth a visit, such as the castle, that dates back to the XIII century, or San Miguel de la Almoraima convent, which was built in the XVII century.

This village situated in the Campo de Gibraltar area also has good accommodation to offer all the visitors who either want to participate in all these activities or just to relax. This includes rural houses to rent and two hotels that are located in natural areas. In addition to this, a new hotel situated in the old Royal Palace of the castle will be opened very soon.

Now Castellar de la Frontera has a new challenge. This Gaditano white village wants also to be important in elite and quality tourism and therefore a golf course will be built very soon. Valderrama II will be a reality in the near future. The objective of this new golf course is to be one of the best in Europe, even surpassing the present one in Sotogrande built by the same company.

The owners want to celebrate important tournaments here and therefore a good infrastructure will be built. The complex will have an 18 hole course and a clubhouse. Apart form this, there is an area designated for an apart-hotel with 200 units to be built. This situation will be very beneficial for Castellar de la Frontera, since a lot of work will be created, and what is more, the image of this beautiful village will become known worldwide.

Without any doubt, Castellar de la Frontera is already a referent for those who like culture and nature, and in the near future, it will also be for those who love golf. Besides which, its location is only 13 kilometres from Sotogrande and its beaches, which makes it even more of a privileged area.
