A bit of Spain in London

On September 3, Regent Street in London will be covered in sand from Benidorm's beaches as part of a joint promotion between the Spanish Tourism Office and London businesses.

The ‘Un paseo por España’ promotion will consist of flamenco dancers, Spanish bars with tapas, restaurants serving traditional food and wine, and the Colla de Capgrossos de Mataró from Barcelona who will be building a human tower.

Areas of Regent Street will be turned into mini beach resorts so that the public can relax and enjoy the sun while the smell of orange blossom perfumes the air.

The Cataluña tourist board will also be there distributing 3,000 roses and 3,000 bookmarks bearing the emblem of Sant Jordi.

Let's hope it doesn't rain on that day.
