GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:Valladolid late en la Ribera
English translation:Valladolid: heartbeat of the Ribera

Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Special offer slogan
Spanish term or phrase: Valladolid late en la Ribera
From the webpage of a wine producing business.

This is the complete name of a programme that they have set up in conjunction with a hotel and a restaurant in the city. The programme/offer includes various pairing meals, two nights in a city hotel, visits to the winery visitors' centre (in the Ribera del Duero region) with tasting, etc.

All suggestions welcome and appreciated! I'm having difficulty coming up with sth zappy...

Spanish from Spain into British English (since this is what I am writing the rest in), although of course the target audience could be English speaking tourists from many points of the globe. I know these kind of packages are popular both with the Brits and across the pond.

Hope there's is some inspiration out there - I'm beginning to feel a bit sapped by the "holidays"! Hope everyone is enjoying some seasonal cheer.

Valladolid: the heartbeat of la Ribera
Explanation:
A verb doesn't seem to fit in English.
("throbbing" and suchlike makes the mind boggle)
I think heartbeat conserves the original meaning quite well and adds to it because it also means an influence.

(I must confess I took some time wondering why on earth the original had the English word "late" in it. Luckily the penny dropped!)

Reasonably cheesy still, no getting away from it, but I think it's probably a quality curado! Very best wishes for 2011 to everyone. You've all been a great help.

Feel Valladolid's heartbeat (in the Ribera del Duero region)


Explanation:
It is just a suggestion...

I have placed the rest in parenthesis because the centre is in Ribera, and a slogan should be shorter..

I hope it helps, or at least generates more suggestions :)

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Davis: Yes, better not throbbing, I agree. But this is just what's wanted, I think (I'd put "the Ribera" myself) :)
12 mins
  -> Thanks Charles, yes, maybe "the Ribera"
agree  Patrick Jones: If you really wanted to ham it up you could use "the beating heart of la Ribera".
12 mins
  -> Thanks Patrick, not sure it needs hamming up any further :)
agree  franglish: taking Charles's suggestion further: Valladolid, heartbeat of the Ribera.
39 mins
  -> Thanks franglish. Yes, I'd go along with that. Let's get rid of the first "the".
agree  Jenni Lukac (X): Nice. I agree with franglish about droping the article.

The Ribera, where Valladolid comes to life / The Ribera, where you can feel Valladolid's pulse


Explanation:
in the slogan, "Valladolid" must refer to the province, I think

Experience the vitality of Valladolid


Explanation:
Another suggestion. As there will be references to the area of Ribera del Duero perhaps it's not necessary to include it here...if it is, then: Experience the vitality of Valladolid in the Ribera (del Duero) region
