From our good friend and fellow nomad, Fernando (fdt):
"Hello again;
This is to inform you of the set date for the paella festival at Castillos del Mar. Yes, after much planning and getting everyone involved to agree on
the magnitude of the event, the date is set for September 5th at 2 PM.
This is going to be an unforgettable event. We will have of course the paella, beeing served by top chefs from the area and plenty of entertainment,
from a fashion show of 2 top designers, to a concert with Antonio De Carlo. I have attached the promotioal poster and we also have a web site you can
visit for more information. http://paellafest.com . Thank you for your patience and support and we hope to see you there.
Respectfully,
Fernando Garcia

More on the Paella Festival

Ok, first of all, I may owe an explanation as for the absence here but it's such a long story ( since the toy drive ) but I have been totaly consumed
with running 3 hotels, 1 in Tijuana and 2 in Rosarito. I had a chance to see some of you at Baja by the Sea but not all. In any case I can tell you
more at the paella festival that I have organized and is for this sunday september 5th at Castillos del Mar in Rosarito. Thanks to Gypsy Jan for
posting the info.
The event starts at 2 PM with paella beeing served by Las Rocas, Festival Plaza, Calafia, Puerto Nuevo II, La Querencia Campestre, Castillos del Mar
(us) and a few others. Food should last till at least 5 pm and then there are of course lots of snacks available. There will be wine, beer and other
refreshments and all of this surrounded by non stop entertainement. I've set up a program with a fashion show featuring two top designers showing the
fall / winter collection, music starting with a Rondalla, Gina y los Traviesos, then Los Moonlights and finaly Antonio De Carlo.
It will be great and you are all invited.
And just to keep up with tradition just mention Baja Nomad and make your tickets half price.
I hope to see you there and also to start posting more.
Saludos
Fernando
PS.- I've built a web site with all the info http://paellafest.com/html/english.html
Here is the comercial in espaņol skipowell - 8-31-2010 at 05:21 PM
Fernando,
Are you saying that if we buy are tickets at the door that we can get 1/2 price just by mentioning Baja Nomads?? So I am assuming that we dont need
to get them in advance!
Looking forward to the event!fdt - 8-31-2010 at 07:13 PM
It would be best to get them in advance but unfortunately I don't have ticket sales set up for the US. If you or any Nomad attending U2U's me or
replies to this thread, you can make a printout and show it at the door for your 2 for 1.
I've also set up an email info@paellafest.com were I can confirm the 2 for 1 price.
saludos

Thanks for the hook up on the tickets. We had a great time even though the clouds did not leave all weekend. I have always wondered why there were
not more of these events held at Castillos. It is a really wonderful venue. Stayed there for many years before we owned our own place.
Plenty of Paella for all and we had a really nice time. We had fun deciding who had the best.
Thanks!fdt - 9-7-2010 at 01:28 PM
It was a fantastic event. I'll be promoting more events there and at the other 3 properties and I'll keep you informed.
Glad you had fun,
Saludos
Fernando
