Hi BD (& Jumpi) kind of surprised no-one picked up on this article about Rimini in the travel section of last Saturday's Guardian. Full article at [1]http://travel.guardian.co.uk/saturdaysection/story/0,8922,1493708,0 0.html .
No mention of Ultimate or Paganello, naturally, but some standout quotes, with irony value for the lucky ones of us in the know: "Unmissable nights out in Rimini? It sounded unlikely. Party town isn't the reputation that precedes this Italian seaside destination. ... One friend recalled Rimini was "a bit grim," while another sneered, "even the name sounds dirty". ... Yet something is happening in Rimini that will put the naysayers in their place. The good times are returning to the province - and the young, stylish fashion set with them. ... If you steer clear of the bulk of the seafront, with its naff bucket-and-spade, amusement-arcade ethos, you can get a taste of why Italians are increasingly hailing it as their answer to Ibiza. ... as a cheap weekend break it remains less well-known among twenty- and thirtysomething Brits, who have yet to catch on to the improved nightlife, or register that it also has all the advantages you'd associate with Italy - good food, wine and weather - that also make for a cheap and charming getaway." Also worthy of mention: the quoted 10 Euro for a drink in one nightclub, kind of puts into perspective Jumpi's efforts to secure reasonable prices!
