An Insight into Spanish Culture

Year 11 Spanish students discover Spanish culture in an evening of tapas and Flamenco

On Wednesday 20th April, 30 Year 11 Spanish students were accompanied by Mr Taylor, Miss Mizon and Mrs Johns to La Farola, a tapas restaurant in London and then to see a Flamenco show at Sadler’s Wells. The tapas restaurant was particularly popular, and the students all tried something new which was great to see. The most popular dishes were the tortilla de patatas and the croquetas de jamón y queso. The majority of the students were pleasantly surprised when they tried the aubergine and honey chips and obviously, everyone had room for churros con chocolate for dessert. The Flamenco show afterwards was a entirely new experience for all the students. The music and the dancers were incredible, and both the staff and students thoroughly enjoyed this insight into Spanish culture.
