Viva la Espana!
Spanish events are dotting Mumbai's cultural landscape, as we get to see the city hosting a number of events celebrating Spanish ethos
It seems that the recession has hit Europe pretty badly, as Spain now seems to have descended on Mumbai, with the city hosting a number of events celebrating the rich Hispanic culture and tradition. Be it Spanish, Mexican or Latin American — Mumbaikars seem to slurp up anything that is interesting and have a Spanish touch.
It all started with Zoya Akhtar's on the road drama Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which was extensively shot in various cities around Spain. In spite of getting mixed reviews, the film made people enthralled by the beauty and culture of Spain. Just after the movie the La Tomatino festival was organised, which also featured in the movie. The festival was first of its kind held in Mumbai. People got to squash, stomp and throw tomatoes on everyone around them without a care in the world. Recently, there also took place Latino Night at Canvas, where people got to sway to the magical beats of the Latin music (Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Zouk, Kizomba, Reggaeton etc.) It was a brilliant night with people dancing to the tunes of sensuous Salsa.
Then for all the food lovers out there, the Festival of Spain in celebration of the European country's National Day was organised. The Consulate of Spain in association with Mediterranean restaurant Amadeus, dished out some Spanish treats, in the presence of some energetic flamenco dancing. Farrokh Khambata of Amadeus said, "This Spanish festivals are an attempt to offer Mumbaikars an insight into Spanish food and lifestyle."
Keeping up with the food culture, is an exciting new initiative by Svenska Design Hotels, who announced the launch of a series of cooking classes on Spanish-Mediterranean cuisine by professional chefs of Miro, who have been taught by Michelin-star chefs from Europe. Finally, the Wedding Cafe; and Lounge also organised a week long Mexican Food festival, bringing in a refreshing combination of Mexican food and margheritas!
