August 12, 2022 It is 50 years since the word "kalimotxo"
was invented in Algorta (Vizcaya). Notice that it is just about the name "kalimotxo", the origin of the first mix of red wine and
coke is and will remain unknown. Anyway, it is half
a century drinking kalimotxo, an amazing milestone!!
Therefore, it is a good date to perform a major
restructuration of the website, from a single page to a page per section.
March 15, 2020 - A great day, kalimotxo has been
on the Web for 25 years!!
On March 15, 1995 the very first webpage about kalimotxo was created; since then
we (at least, I) have enjoyed countless gallons of kalimotxo. I would like to
thank everybody who, along these 25 years, contributed to this website, shared
a kalimotxo with me, emailed me about it, or just visited this site and
smiled... and let's keep doing it for the next 25 years!!
January 14, 2020 - this page is restructured and compacted without compromising its 90's style
May 31, 2016 - "I Ruta del Calimocho"
(First Kalimotxo Tour), in Logroņo (Spain), June 9-26, 2016, organized by bar owners from La Rioja and Coca-Cola.
March 15, 2015 - Today is a great day!! Kalimotxo has been
on the Web for 20 years!!
November 15, 2014 - Added a new video in the "The origin of the name" section.
March 2002 - Geocities misteriously deletes my files and I have to look for another home.
Strange way to celebrate its 7th birthday. I decide to use the color or coke, red wine and lemon for the page.
February 1998 - Some journalists find out the page and publish
a column about it. The day after people from Radio Bilbao,
Radio Popular and other radio stations want to interview me. I decline the offer of Euskal Telebista (ETB-1) to appear in a TV
program where "people that do strange things are invited".
November 29, 1996 - Some friends find a reference to this page in El Pais newspaper suplement.
March 1995 - The page is created in geocities (http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/1134/kalimotxo.html)
just to practice how to integrate text, sound, and images in an HTML page, it was the very first webpage I created!! The subject chosen is good, isn't it?
