Hey Grapeviners!

There’s a chill in the air as we get into November, with temperatures set to plummet to 5°C tomorrow night. If you still haven’t taken your duvet out of the armario - now is the time!

This week is all about V.O.S.E. cinema. As well as the Festival Cinemística, the University of Granada’s Masters of Modern Cinema Series is showcasing classic Robert Mulligan movies including To Kill a Mocking Bird (free entry). All this, AND Back to the Future: 40th Anniversary is showing in English at Ocine Serrallo tomorrow!

There’s plenty of theatre for kids this week too, from Alice in Wonderland to a Beckett-inspired play entitled “When’s Samuel Coming?” (Spoiler: he never does.)

*We haven’t added the screenings to the listings below as there are far too many!

🌳🚙 €50m for a Bit of Peace and Quiet - The GR‑30 ring road around Granada is set to get nearly €50 million for noise-reduction works, including acoustical screens of concrete and glass/plexiglass. The city council has also planned “green screens”, dense tree and shrub plantings over approx 10km on both sides of the road.

🚧👷🏼 Calle San Antón Obras - Tried pushing a pram down Calle San Antón recently? (We have!) The good news is that these works are set to finish on 5th Dec.
