Where and when…


Dear friends of La Siesta: ¡¡ANAS is proud to announce that…!!


The I Nacional Championship of La Siesta, will be held from 14th-23th of October 2010 at the Madrilenian neighbourhood of Carabanchel.


Madrid have been chosen because is the city with most population and this way is suppose to offer a wider range of different friends of la siesta.


Finally, the place it will be Islazul shopping center. Placed in C/ Calderilla, 1. 28054 Madrid. M-40 exits 27 y 28. For more information about how to get there you can visit: http://www.islazul.com/v2/como_llegar.php


First aim was to find in Madrid a place where people don’t need to assist on purpose to participate in the championship. A place that would have its own affluence of people. This would be important to be able to promote La Siesta. This was the reason why we though in a place of leisure.


We also took into account that it should have restaurants, so everybody would be able to eat before sleeping. That is how we end up thinking that a shopping center will unite all this requirements.

Organizers


The idea of a National Championship of La Siesta was born in Tobarra, that is a little village in “La Mancha”, well know for its tradition and its drums. But it didn’t see the light until it arrived to Cantabria. It was in Santander where a group of fans of la siesta, decided to promote the idea, and to found the “National Association of la Siesta”.


This association was created with the aim of promoting this beautiful and useful tradition. We hended to defend it agains the modern ways of living that attack directly to this habit. Increases the number of people who sleep La Siesta, and inform about it benefits, as well as promote it are our basic aims.


Motivation


The mission of the championship is to spread the idea that La Siesta is something ours, that we should practise and defend, because is healthy and good for everybody.


Expertise advice: 20 minutes of sleeping after eating, to maximize your performance during the evening. It doesn’t care if what you do is working, studying or sports.


This is the reason why we decided that 20 minutes should be the time in the championship to sleep. Being able to do it in front of the public requires a big loving siesta spirit.


What is the championship about?


Participants of the I Nacional Championship of La Siesta will have to present themselves at the Stand, at least 1 hour before they participate. This is because we will give a free meal to every participant to respect the concept of siesta.


They will need this time to eat their meal before participating.


There will be 8 rounds everyday, from 12 in the morning to 19 in the evening.


Each round will be 20 minutes long and will count with 5 participants.


There will be a doctor at the stand to certify that the participants fall asleep. Using instruments as a pulsimeter.


Alter each round a prize will be given to first and second classified.


All 5 participants will receive as a gift an official championship’s t-shirt.


We will open a profile of each participant with their photo and video. This way the public will vote their favourite through the website.
