16 participantes llegados de toda España (de entre 15 y 22 años) se midieron en una final muy disputada, en la que la nota predominante fue el alto nivel mostrado desde las primeras rondas, con trucos muy técnicos y puesta en escena llamativa y efectista. Los favoritos, Gómez, Vity, Nen, César o Broly, primeros clasificados en alguna de las cuatro semifinales disputadas en Salamanca, Girona, Cádiz y Tenerife, se fueron deshaciendo de sus rivales en las primeras eliminatorias. Tan sólo Borja Rojas, Borja, tinerfeño de 16 años, consiguió colarse entre el grupo de cabeza hasta caer en semifinales. En estas rondas se vivieron duelos muy reñidos, como el de Nen y Gómez, que requirió de una réplica para conocer al ganador. Vity y Borja se clasificaron finalmente tercero y cuarto. En la final, Manel y Gómez tuvieron que desplegar su mejor repertorio de trucos, en una ronda muy igualada que también exigió réplica. Manel clavó su actuación, pero la de Gómez, con combinaciones muy rápidas de maniobras de suelo y cabeza, le dio la victoria final.

Entry from: Valencia, Spain and Canary Islands Entry Title: “Bull fights” Entry: “I’m not sure when I’ll get a chance to upload my next 1000000 photos. Here’s the ones from the bullfight. Plaza de los toros…I saw my first bullfight. The atmosphere was very exicting. But the people who were the most excited were the older people. In fact, I’ve talked to a lot of SPanish students and I don’t think a single one had ever seen a bull fight in person. They think it’s cruelty to animals and hate that it’s a tradition that represents Spain. I would definitely classifiy it as cruel. Basically, the bull is just being tormented to its death. Each bull lasts around 15 minutes, then lays down, exhausted. Then one of the matadors stabs it in the neck to kill it. Next, men come out with two huge horses, tie up the dead bull and drag it out of the ring. I took like 5 videos of what I saw.” Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. “Bull fights” 2. “-Bull fights” See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com
Going way back in time it seems that the first ever known building to be constructed in this Castellón de la Plana area was in fact the famous Moorish castle of Fadrell situated near the Alquerías de La Plana.
Some time later the real town was officially founded in the year of 1251 and this was after the historical conquest of the Moorish Kingdom of Valencia that was done by King James I of Aragon at an earlier date in 1233.
King James I in fact then granted a royal permission to actually move the new town down from the mountain and on to the plain on the date of September 8 in 1251 Historically it now seems that tradition claims that this move was in fact completed by those that undertook this enormous task on the third Sunday of Lent in 1252.
Right throughout the Middle Ages this Castellón de la Plana city was well protected by moats around defensive walls and towers and later a new church was built which later become the city’s cathedral.
Later on in the 17th century the town became one of the very last great strongholds in the Revolta de les Germanies or “revolt of the local guilds”. And the town also was supportive of the Archduke Charles of Austria in the historical War of the Spanish Succession which ran from1701 to 1714. The city however was then taken by the troops and supporters of Philip d'Anjou.
More recently in the 19th century all of the city’s walls were taken down as it slowly began to expand beyond them and this a process which was interrupted only by the War of Independence against Napoleon which occurred from 1804 until 1814 and then again later by the Carlist Wars from 1833 up to 1863.
At the start of these wars in 1833 was the year that Castellón de la Plana became the new capital of the newly constituted province area.
Even more recently in the second half of the 19th century the city of Castellón de la Plana began to expand again even more. And this time it was marked by the arrival of a railway into the city and also included the enlargement of the city’s port area as well as the construction of some important representative buildings such as the Provincial Hospital and a Casino and the city’s Theater. Many parks were also developed at this time.
Very recently just a few years ago in 1991 a new university in Castellón de la Plana, named Jaume I University, was created and built on a new modern campus location. Today the local economy of the area is mainly based on industry and craft work.
