A Spanish festival designed to promote the country to consumers is to be held next month in London.
Giant paellas, flamenco dancers, medieval food markets and a range of interactive sports challenges and events will be held as part of the Taste of Spain event in Regent Street on June 6.
A dedicated ‘Hall of Spain’ will be a key feature of the event where visitors will be able to wander through 80 years of Spanish sporting history and experience the diversity of sporting activities available in the country.
In the interactive area, a pit-stop challenge awaits F1 enthusiasts who will have the chance to carry out an F1 tyre change against the clock.
An F1 simulator will feature the Montmeló FI track in Barcelona and state-of-the-art MotoGP simulators will transport guests to southern Spain to the popular ‘Circuito de Jerez’.
As well as motor sports, footballers can take part in a kick point challenge, tennis players can compete for the fastest serve, basketball talent can try their luck in ‘shoot the hoop’ and golfers can participate in a ‘nearest to the pin’ contest.
Traffic-free Regent Street will allow for many other activities based on the different regions of Spain, including food, culture and music.
“A Taste of Spain” will take place on Regent Street from noon until 19.00 on June 6.
