Thursday late afternoon, tea-time at the language school, a great gastronomy festival is taking place on the second floor. More than sixty people gather together around typical dishes from all over the world. After a short speech by Mercedes Pozo, the headmaster, everybody rushes to try delicious cakes, pastries, pies, salads, brownies, Spanish omelette, scones, rock cakes, Galician octopus, ginger cookies and even baklawas and Easter roll from Poland.
Carol, an English teacher at the official language school of Alicante, has been living in Spain since 1969 and she says that she likes Spanish food much more than British food, because it is healthier and less fattening.
Carmen, who works at the secretary of the school and is one of the members of the jury, tells us that the criteria she will follow when choosing the winners will be the dish presentation, the elaboration and of course, taste.
A lovely festival for a wonderful evening out of the classrooms.
