The multicultural, cosmopolitan nature of London is one of the city’s greatest strengths, and it has to be said that Spanish speakers are better represented than most.
Sunday provided the perfect illustration as Spaniards took over Regent Street for the annual spectacular that is A Taste of Spain.
It seemed that virtually all the country’s regions were represented with marquees offering tourist information and local food products.
And it was pleasing to see Spain celebrating its sporting success at the very same time as the brilliant Rafa Nadal was winning yet another French Open championship.
