Spain in the heart of London

This is an annual event called Regent street festival and this year was sponsored by Spain tourism authority.
So they converted the street (One of the most expesive shopping area "Regent street") into different Spain provinces, Andalucía, Región de Murcia and Islas Canarias.
It was fun day, lots of fun, dance, music, shows and give away.

Leave you with the photos.

This is decoration for the band instrument, chicken feet and sunflower

Funny band, eh.

Spanish beauty.


White sand was brought in, palm trees and the weather was perfect to give Spain feeling.



I couldn't resist this cute girl in this pose.


Human tower, this is sort of Spanish tradition.


Amazing, and they have different styles, two people or four in each level.


and usually ends up with this small kid on the top.


The base has tens of strong stocky men



You pump in these Spanish dressed girls everywhere, really fetl like Spain.



Junior tower, as a start!!!


To be able to stand the weight, they wrap their wastes with this cloth to support their back.



No idea what was that, but I guess it is something in their culture, any body has a clue.



Line up to kiss Spanish guys.



I was thinking to go to latin america in my last post, now I am heading directly to Spain, don't you just love the whole thing.



Interesting shoes.



These are the girls who carve these shoes.


They were cooking the biggest Paella dish in London (I guess the word means left over from Arabic origin)





I told you, it was big, no, it was huge.


You could end up having dinner with this !!!??? (I have no idea but I guess a general from an army 200 years ago)
