European City of Sport 2019  …  Budapest or Malaga!?!

The Brussels-based ACES will be announcing the winner between

October 26 and 28.2015.

But first things first …  The Municipality of Budapest was represented by deputy mayor  – Alexandra Szalay-Bobrovniczky and the 11 ACES members staying for a couple of days in Budapest … The European Capitals of Sport Association (European Capitals of Sport Committee – ACES).  “The European Capital of Sport” was first announced in the year 2001.

The deputy mayor highlighted the objectives contained in the tender that the enjoyment of promoting everyday physical activity in the elementary and secondary high-school is a case that Hungary is implementing into the daily school life. Also in favor of athletic performance, ambition, sense of community, the fair-play spirit of awareness and to improve health. Applications can be promoted not only by winning a competitive sport, but also wanting to give emphasis on presenting and promoting its leisure sports as well. The Committee expressed its pleasure to manage to bring everyday sports training. The President said in Europe it has not quite been realized this method, and this incentive will be separately taken into account and make sure it is observed in the selection process. According to the question of​​infrastructure developments, the deputy major answered, by saying, in recent years, more developments has been realized in the capital. As for an example, at the Margaret Island the path had been renewed at the running circle and as we are here just talking, looking out the window can view the renewed Ice Rink overlooking at the Castle of Vajdahunyad. Came up with another example to the Water World Cup 2017 – Budapest preparations which are on the go and underway. So it can be seen already that not only the institutions will be rich in Budapest, but also experience the fact that Hungary is not only good with buildings, but also good with having athletes and sports leaders who have had already international experience within participating, arranging different level of sport events, but also experiences in engagements to the Olympic Games.

Mr. Gian Francesco Lupattelli – President  ACES, also updated the participants, saying …  Q.: „This year, Torino bears the title, which organizes around 1,200 sporting events per year. Next year will follow Prague, thenafter Marseille and Sofia continues the line.”

Last but not least … This application will help in Budapest’s 2024 Olympic candidature, and focusing media attention to the capital!

Now we only have to wait for a couple of days to find out who come first in arranging …

Sport Capital of the year 2019!?!

Spanish Days at the SZEGA Market – Budapest

Spanish delights from Spain at the SZEGA Market – Budapest,  in collaboration with the Spanish Embassy in Hungary.

A full week … October, 12-17. 2015

A week in Spain… well not in person, but through gastronomy diversity. The basic main thought was to familiarize the customers with the Spanish food and drinks. October, 12. back in Spain was also a special day, a national holiday celebrating  Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus),  who 523 years ago, on this day reached the Island of San Salvador  and by this reached the previously unknown continent to the shores of America. So it was a double special day by the arrival to the Spanish Days official opening by  His Excellency – Jose Angel Jorrit Lopez –  Ambassador to Hungary who opened  the week of Spanish gastronomy. As he said, he is only being here in Budapest for a short time, but well know the best way to get to know a country is by its gastronomy, which tells a lot about where you stay for a short or for a longer period of time. This is why during this week all the goodies which speak for themselves about Spain are here at the SZEGA Market.

Talking about food in Spain, many who have already visited Spain most probably tasted their traditional soup the Gazpacho  which is a  real classic summer pinch … refreshing, and full of ripe summery flavours and also from the Mediterranean coast the Paella … which is in a way simply, yet delicious with a mixture of sea food, rice and a load of veggies. The Paella actually was named after a double handled frying pan they cooked it in Spain.

The Szega Market now for one week visitors may gain an insight to the Spanish cuisine, such as:  black olives, Tetilla, Manchego,  cheese, Catalan zucchini bread, Sauvignon blanc – red, Manchela – dry, Bobal – rosé wines, Chorizo picante, Salchichon salami, Estrella beer  and many more. Naturally as the Spaniards say … the King of Ham –  Iberico Bellota can be purchased as well. During the week visitors may see how the cortador masters slice the ham. It seems easy, but an average person may be a bit confused when it comes to  slicing … not so easy after all.

One of the loveliest market halls in Budapest, in the district 7. also known as the Jewish quarter at the neighbourhood of the Klauzál Park is filled with life once again after refurbishment reopened its gates to the public at

District VII., 11. Klauzál Square – Budapest.

Before  WW 2 the market and its surrounding venue was a busy living area. Koser butcher, bakery, wine and all sorts of groceries tents and were busy for shopping. For years it has not been renewed and during the past decades it certainly lost its charm and many of its shoppers.

Finally time has come to the old building to go through a full refurbishment from head-to-tow! It was built-in 1897, whereas previously stood, but destroyed by fire in 1874, the István Square’s theater. In this year, 5 Market Halls were opened in the Budapest. This one has become the III. out of the V. The market hall was upon the plans of the Municipal Engineering Office Architects, József Kommer and Pál Klunzinger.

Before  the official opening to the public took place, the district VII.  – Elizabeth City  – Mayor – Zsolt Vattamány  welcomed the renewed market hall for not only the local district’s shopping individuals and highlighted the new form of the building. Also added, the Klauzál Market Hall by the recent years, had degenerated into a shadow of its former beauty and function and so the local government decided to launch a revival project within EU financial support. Ervin Schmuck – managing director SPAR Hungary read his welcoming words to the opening in Hungarian language and the invited guest, media representatives appreciated his speech very much. As he added, during the renovation of the market hall area the SPAR developed a new level on the basement floor. It has its own brand products and meat from the company’s own plant of the controlled quality fresh meat products.

The Market from now on is bright and neat, the store s match nicely into the market hall’s spacious central section. The building’s metal frame and the walls for the shops covered with wood, really gives a pleasant sight. The ceilings are made of  glass, guaranteeing bright interiors, but as the Fall and Winter season is just ahead of us the  lighting of the market is guaranteed to take a look at the assortment.

On the basement floor’s central walking area are 14 farmers tables and dairy stores with home-made – dairy products, poultry meat stores and home-made sausages, salamis are available. For the time being, only a couple of small producers’ tables were filled with selling their own products. We can meet the producers and see their products are high quality. Fresh and more to it tasty and delicious seasonal fruits and veggies are available throughout the year.

The basement and its first floor has elevator access and is barrier-free for the disable shoppers inside the hall free WiFi is available for the customers. The area  is pay parking on the street.

The supermarket after the national laws limiting Sunday opening hours,  the Klauzál Market Hall will be accessible on Sundays between 6.30 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturday: 6 a.m. -2 p.m. and during the week days 6 a.m. -6 p.m. as well.

Going to the market for ages has been always popular, no mater where you live and now-a-days it seems even more to have become cool to go to the market, not just for shopping for the week-end but during the lunch hours to have a bite of food as well. We can meet the producers, the products are high quality. Hopefully, shopping folks to the Klauzál Market Hall will remain in favorite because of its wide selection of goods foods.

The whole day in-and-outside the market was rolling with raffle and stage shows. The day’s program ended with a huge concert, held by the Budapest Klezmer Band, the audience could hardy let go the band, cheered and expressed their appreciation praise by clapping.

Herald News: Metropolitan Circus – BALANCE production – Circus for everyone!

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary. Tagged: , , , , , , , .

Metropolitan Circus – District, XIV., 12/a Állatkert Ave. -Budapest

The Metropolitan Circus held its season opening with a press briefing connection with a short demonstration of its forthcoming Circus Show titled BALANCE!

 October, 3.2015.  –   December, 31. 2015.

At the press conference were present: Péter Fekete – Ministerial Comissioner – Managing Director responsible for the renewal of circus arts, MACIVA Nonprofit Ltd., József Richter – Director, and  László Szabó – communications expert.

The circus is an enchanted place not only on holidays, but weekdays too for kids and adults of all age. Whether you’re a fan of contemporary circus  or not worthwhile to at least once join the world of amazing artist, who this season fulfills the area with breathtaking elements combined with sporty formations.

A meeting point for team builders at the capital’s circus for basketball fans to the forthcoming”Balance” performance regardless of age or sex!

Need not wish to rush ahead, cause before the press gathering, in front of the circus building took place the „Flying Ball” –  Ukrainian basketball team’s demo with acrobatic elements. They showed how „easy” it is to handle the UNBELIEVABALL!

We all know the circus as the ground of entertainment was already available for the Citizens in the Ancient Rome, and at ancient Greek hippodromes. Philip Astley in the late 18th century adopted the ring platform, and the „Big Tops” became common as the circus shows rolled from town-to-town … city-to-city.

A big jump in time we are back in the 21st century’s with the world-class artists and acrobats here in Budapest.

The Metropolitan’s Circus still holds its shows in a ring platform with its own circus band.  Péter Fekete said, it is not only a dream to have a brand new circus building, but surely needs about a four-year term to come true. So for the time being he promised the artists they will perform here at the circus which hold for them so many memories,  until the new circus building’s roof will be pulled up, so ion the meantime this building will not be demolished.  His main intention is to bring closer the relations, just like in the early days.

This new show is connecting art with sport. Even though was only a demo of aerial acts still eyes were wide open watching, performing cca. 7 meters high above the Columbian Troupe Gerling unique production without any security net.

Still standing outside the building suddenly a motorcycle rolled to the curb. Pascal – the Dutchman in Budapest arrived from Spain to be  sharp on time at the press gathering. Right away he pulled out two rhythmic whistle and picked a young girl from the audience and in a second he approached all the folks attention with the gags performance. Don’t expect to see him int he show as the classical clown of to-day, but rather as a comic theatrical performer.

This new show is connecting art with sport. Even though was only a demo of aerial acts still eyes were wide open watching, performing cca. 7 meters high above the Columbian Troupe Gerling – seven artists classic tightrope act.  An unique production without any security net. There was magic in the air, even dropping a pin on the floor you could hear it land whilst watching them. The audience will absolutely feel their hearts will skip a beat while experiencing their unique outstanding acts in their program.

The  third demo of the day was shown by the X-Treme Brothers just arrived from Portugal after receiving the Bronze medal at the first International Circus Artists Festival. The Romanian triplet group have been working together for over ten years. They often travel abroad. This year they have performed in France and Switzerland already and needless to say they reached international success. Be ready to certainly experience a visually striking performance.
