Taste of Spain at London's Borough market

Thursday, 05 Jun 2008 09:17
The chimes of Big Ben were drowned out by the clicking of castanets as London's famous Borough Market went Mediterranean yesterday (June 4th).

Budding gourmets and Spanish enthusiasts indulged their taste-buds as the market embarked on a week-long 'Taste of Spain' festival celebrating Spanish lifestyle, culture and food.

This tantalising selection of Spain's most famous foods and wines is set to continue throughout today (Thursday June 5th).

There will also be live demonstrations by chefs from London's leading Spanish restaurants and from different regions of Spain.

The festival is part of a push to encourage British people to sample the Spanish experience, and hopefully encourage even more people to holiday in Spain.

To see just what was served up, take a look at this video.
