Ariana Benedé’s story deserves to be told. She was diagnosed with leukemia at the
age of 13 and died at just 18 years old. During the last two years of her life, together
with her mother, Àngela Jover, and a team of professionals, they started the ARI
Project, a race against time to develop and conduct the first clinical trials of CAR-T
therapy. This innovative treatment modifies the patient’s immune system cells
to effectively combat cancer cells, offering new hope in cancer treatment. They
succeeded in this endeavor.

Is the origin of Coca-Cola in Valencia? That’s what they claim at the Aielo de Malferit
Bottling House. The story goes that Nuez de Kola-Coca, the star beverage of this liquor
factory, reached the United States—curiously—one year before the invention (with an almost
identical formula) of the world’s most famous soft drink. Coincidence? Plagiarism? Could it
be that the secret formula of Coca-Cola was actually created by three friends from this
village?
