Brad Pitt's Tourism Stimulus Plan Takes Effect In Spain
After New Orleans welcomed him with open arms, Super World Traveler Brad Pitt has set his sights on drawing tourists to another little-visited town in northern Spain. Only 860,998 cities left before tourism is saved!
The city of Avilés is in the process of building a cultural center dedicated to Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, responsible for designing the city of Brasilia and contributing to the UN Headquarters design. For the northern region of Asturias, best known as the area of Catholic reconquest of Spain from the Moors, the Centro Niemeyer will attract touring theatre productions, cultural exhibits and famous authors to the city once it opens in 2010.
We can't really figure out how Pitt got involved, though we assume it was a drunken promise at a Cannes party or hobnobbing at Art Basel, but besides visiting the construction site while in Avilés, he scored an audience with regional president Vicente Alvarez Areces. Suffice it to say they are taking their A-list guest Very Seriously.
