Marcus von Wachtel, the circus man from Jimena

TARIFA News comes from Tarifa that Marcus von Wachtel (photo), a part-time resident of Jimena, where he has a house, has made contacts with the Council there to create a municipal circus school. Von Wachtel was brought up in Jimena but branched out to the rest of Spain when he decided to go into the entertainment business. He is not only involved with the circus, writing, producing, directing and creating acts for some of Spain's largest and best known circuses with international reputations, but also works in film and television as well as the theatre. (See related CampoPulse item). UPDATE 12 June 12 2013. Marcus now lives in Jimena and runs El Corral de la Paca, the venue for all sorts of cultural activities in the village, almost all of it in Spanish.
