Announcing a new website!!

hello each
'cos of the anti party / festival measures, in the UK and elsewhere, many
travellers, party-persons, squatters etc etc .... have set up in South of
Spain.
So, there are festivals, parties and communities were folks from all over
have gathered and live all the year round. One such place is ORGIVA. In
the Province of Granada, Southern Spain.
It all started in Alex's garden about 5 years ago, everyone gathering with
fire-wood, instruments, records, fire-staffs, booze and masses of
enthusiasm. The dragon flag was hoisted above the proceedings and the
festival was born.
Fifty or so people from Cigarrones, Tablones and El Morreon celebrating the
Equinox, dancing, prancing, howling, stomping, their way into the Spring.
From that moment it was set to become a regular event , since then it has
under gone a quite colossal metamorphosis, may be only to be expected of a
Spring celebration of fertility, new growth and change. Not only the buds
and bellies of goats are enchanted into life and multiplication by the
lengthening sunny days and sweet whiff of honeysuckle but none other than
our own sweet DRAGON.
The festival is developing and drawing immense amounts of creative
inspiration out of this community and beginning to reach further, to draw
attention to the threats of greedy corporations who see potential in the
lush water-filled valleys of the Alpujarras. The water is worth a fortune
to them, golf courses and hotels need vast quantities to keep up with the
ever increasing tourism on the coast, not to mention the countless hectares
of plastic covered genetically modified vegetables. Unbelievably after all
the Euro-blar about encouraging sustainable development, grants are being
awarded here to strip the area of it's water supply to a subterranean
level, this will completely destroy the ecosystem and the independence of
this area interms of water and production of food.
And so what exactly has the Dragon got to do with this impending arrival of
the water husslers, backed by the Euro grants legitimised by officaldom and
accountable to only themselves? Wasn't there some lose talk about
alternatives lifestyles, not being part of their system because we have
better ideas, sure it was more than a more than a quite life in our sleepy
Spanish backwater.
Between us here there is an incredible amount of ingenuity, recycling,
clean energy, solar, wind, turbine, veggie oil engines/generators,
alternative education, sustainability, ...........

What the Dragon Fest isn't?:
We asked this question to A group of Dis-organisers and this is what they
said.
It's not a teknival.
Nor a profit making venture for individuals.
An ecological threat to the riverbed.
An opportunity to flex your ego-K sound system.
