Spanish Culture Night
Join us this Culture Night in which we have prepared a varied programme for all.
We will start the afternoon with a drama workshop for all audiences and ages, directed by Alexandra Calvo. For Alexandra, life, like theater, is a game. Do you want to find out why? You just need a good attitude and a desire to share.
If you are interested in history and want to know more about Spanish history, the Irish historian Michael Barry presents his book Hispania: The Romans of Spain and Portugal, a journey through the Roman footprints in the Iberian Peninsula.
To whet your appetite, the gastronomic writer and communicator Blanca Valencia will discover the curiosities of the culture and food of Asturias. A unique region of Spain that offers the best of its climate through its gastronomic products, traditions, landscapes and culture.
We’ll continue the afternoon with live music and the voice of the Galician singer-songwriter, Su Garrido, who has released a warm and intimate album in which she recovers the things that are hidden, Patios de luz (The patios of lights).
