Montoro Raimundo Oven, Wines and more, La Grúa Estudio i Somnis de paper són un forn, a wine cellar, a comics and illustration studio and a bookstore in Benetússer that drowned on the eve of 29 of October under the water that poured wildly from the Poio ravine. Four places that are fighting to rise above the crust of mud that has left them, to them without a project, and without juice in this town of Horta Sud of one square kilometer that cries for the dead and the devastation next to Alfafar, Sedaví, Masanassa, catarrh, Paiporta, Picanya and many other municipalities in this and other Valencian regions. Today I am writing as a resident of Benetússer who has experienced first hand the destruction of the DANA, and that you have no body to talk about small shops in Cap and Casal where you can do your Christmas shopping, com fem de costum a l’AU de desembre. This year we are talking about a few local businesses and cultural projects that need help to rise from the mud.
Benedict
Montoro Raimundo Oven it was a family bakery full of bad cakes, rollets de vi, coca en llanda i de carabassa, panquemaos of raisins and annuas, xicotets croissants farcits de dolços elixirs, tomato or spinach cakes and delicious breads of all kinds, Gallecs, of dates and anous, turmeric or carabassa. In August they reformed the 29 In October, their ovens and heavy machinery came floating down the street, breaking the walls and ceiling along the way.. There is nothing left, that's why they've opened a micro-patronage campaign in <gofundme.com> looking for an incentive that allows them to get their hands on the flour again. El mateix ha fet Pili del Wines and more, a very charming wine bar that served you the best wines, tapes fredes i molta simpatia. She and José were caught in the water inside the premises and had to lower the blinds by hand when there was no more light and take refuge in a neighbor's house. miraculously, many bottles of wine were saved and some refrigerators still work (tot i que ara gela més del compte), but you need to pull a handle in the form of a donation to help her open the shutter.
A landscaped mural in front of the Benetússer Town Hall reminds us that two great Valencian illustrators have their creative headquarters in the town: Cristina Durán and Miguel A. Giner Bou, that is to say, The Crane Studio. Van guanyar el Premi Nacional de Còmic 2019 per The day 3 on the terrifying management of the Valencian government's metro accident 2006, and it seems that they could repeat the theme if one day they draw on the barrancada del Poio, this one, viscuda en primera persona. To help them recover, you can buy their comics at any bookstore and purchase their plates at web and their originals a Yo Jimbo Comics. The latter is a page dedicated to comics that has for sale originals by prestigious Spanish authors and that has been used to help victims of DANA. They are coordinating an action in which authors and authors from the comic world such as the Valencian Paco Roca are lending illustrations that will be sold to raise money for those who have suffered the catastrophe. For example, the bookstore Paper dreams from Laia to Jorge, that like so many others, he has lost everything. to help, you can make them a bank transfer or book order through their web.
Editorial mon
There are many bookstores in Horta Sud and Ribera Alta affected by the disaster: Book Ideas, al centre comercial Bonaire d’Aldaia; Samaruc o The Paper House, in Algemesí; i L'Esplai, in L'Alcudia. A totes elles els vol fer costat el Guild of Booksellers, who has opened an account in which you can deposit money under the concept "Dana Libraries Donation". Besides, a Librolandia (Benedict) li podeu encomanar llibres, educational games, material escolar i d’oficina i regals, puffy clouds (catarrh) tramita comandes a través del Whatsapp (635 144 882) i ha obert una campanya de micromecenatge, same as Passage from Paiporta. Lazarillo d’Albal accepta donacions i comandes de tot l’estat i la Llibreria Moixeranga de Paiporta has opened an account thinking of rebuilding the clientele. The benefactors will be able to spend the money of their donation on books. Camacuc it's not a bookstore, but a bastion of the Valencian publishing world. La revista de còmic per a xiquets i xiquetes, based in the lowlands of Paiporta where the water reached two and a half meters, does not ask for money, but new subscriptions that help him get out of the well and maintain his task of promoting reading in Valencian among the youngest.
Bookstores have been directly affected, but also publishers and distributors like Gea Books, which stored copies of Valencian publishers such as Contraband Editions, story o Bromera in its ship in the El Oliveral estate in Riba-roja del Túria. LITERA BOOKS i Sow Books they also stored books in the vicinity of the Rambla del Poio or the Magre River and have lost a good portion of their collection, so that, buying books from Valencian publishers this Christmas is the best way to contribute to the recovery of the sector. In addition, kidding has transformed the delivery of the Ciutat d'Alzira Literary Awards into a solidarity initiative with Fila 0 to raise funds that will go entirely to the Red Cross.
Scenic arts
The scenic sector is one of the others hit by the mud. He TAMA from Aldaia, tot i trobar-se en la part més alta del poble, has lost the scenographies of the Municipal Theater School, the equipment for fall events and the furniture for concerts. The razed Auditorium of Paiporta it was converted into a lunch and dinner distribution point, the patio of armchairs of the Theater of Algemesí was turned into a pool of water and grease and the TAC it has become unusable, like all the cultural infrastructures of Catarroja. All four are public theaters and a strong response is expected from the administrations to get them back up and running as soon as possible. But there are other community initiatives in the area that need a push to get off the ground. let's talk, for example, of the project Algra, which was developed in an agricultural warehouse in L'Horta Sud. The mud has swept away the space and all the projects that inhabited it: les companyies de teatre Atirohecho, Rhythmized, The Canadian and Tributeatre; el taller serigràfic La Miliciana; and the illustrations by Elias Taño. They have lost scenographies, changing rooms, technical material, graphic work, instruments musicals, furniture, household appliances and a large number of various machines and tools, that's why they ask for a solidarity contribution by bank transfer.
On the other hand, companyies com Teatre Micalet, Pot de Plom or Albena Teatre stored their material in the towns of Horta Sud and Ribera Alta and have lost everything. At the industrial ship of lead pot in Picanya, the water entered in a torrent to carry away floating scenography, records i vestuari com la jaqueta i el pocket by Rita. Albena Theater he filled, in Alcudia, cinc camions amb escenografies, carpets, panels, changing rooms, props, technical material, books, files and promotional items that went directly to the fem. The good news, But, ens la va donar des de Castellar Oliveral The Horta Theatre, que tot i haver estat afectada per l’aigua, managed to open its doors a few weeks after the catastrophe. But they still need support and the best way to offer it is by taking the children to see quality theater endorsed by the National Performing Arts Award for Children and Youth 2023.
Disparatory d'Algemesí is another one of those affected by the cold drop. It is the puppet company for family audiences that has staged the book for the little ones Maria is not afraid, de Francesc Gisbert i Dani Miquel. The Butoni saved himself from the mud, però han caigut equips electrònics, the van, changing rooms, scenographies and props. També es dedica al món titellaire The St. Vitus Ball, a company from the Ribera del Xúquer that toured with Gori Gori, a show that mixes live music with the technique of glove puppets. To help them, the association of puppeteers and puppeteers UNIMA Valencian Country ha obert una caixa solidària.
Gastronomy
El sector gastronòmic també s’està movent. He 13 of December, cooks from all over Spain and several cities around the world will join together in charity dinners organized simultaneously to raise funds in support of those affected by DANA. From Valencia to Valencia és una iniciativa impulsada per Ricard Camarena, Begoña Rodrigo and Quique Dacosta that aims to help in the reconstruction of the small trade in the area, i a ella s’han sumat grans xefs com Joan Roca, Eneko Atxa, Pepe Solla or Ángel León, who will bear the expenses of the organization. In Valencia, restaurants com el RiFF, Fierro, Canvas, The village, The Branch, Karak, The Estate (Elx) and Villa Indiano will offer charity meals to contribute to the cause.
Museums, art and design
El Museu de la Rajoleria a Paiporta, the Palmito Museum in Aldaia and the Festa Museum in Algemesí are three of the museums swept away by the mud that spewed up the Poio ravine and the Magre river on 29 of October. The direct action of the Diputació de Valencia is expected here, but the world of graphic art is waging war on its own to help those who do not have a public administration behind them. Com els artistes Gemma Alpuente i David Sánchez, Felipe Pantone ha perdut el seu estudi, to Massanassa, and has launched Auction for action on artists with Okuda, Dulk, Jaime Hayon, Cachetejack, PichiAvo or Inma Femenía have auctioned some of their pieces to raise money that will go to schools and small businesses.

Nature, Albufera, orchards and marshland
A banda de les pèrdues humanes i materials, DANA has also caused an environmental catastrophe of the first order. Everything that washed down the Poio ravine ended up in the Albufera: containers, medicines, drums of various chemical products and fuels, furniture and household appliances... That's why the colleagues of the Assut Foundation s’han posat mans a l’obra. In November, they organized days to clean up waste in the vegetable garden and in the Marjal de Massanassa and will continue with the task.

The CEIP Platero and I d'Aldaia; CEIP Vila Romana and Escoleta Bubo de Catarroja and CEIP Blasco Ibáñez de Beniparrell are other centers that will soon be able to recover their gardens and restore their courtyards thanks to this initiative. D’algunes escoles públiques com el CEP Lluís Vives of Massanassa not even the structure has been saved and they will have to be demolished while the boys and girls finish the course at the old Faculty of Teaching in Valencia. They have made public a bank account where they can deposit money that will be used so that the boys and girls at school receive the best possible education in adverse circumstances. The emblematic Seagull School de Picanya is another one of those affected by the cold and has launched the campaign Let's take flight. Let's get the school back amb la qual volen refer-se, help the families of their students and extend solidarity to other schools in South Horta.
