ITTN was thrilled to join The Spanish Tourism Office, at Dublin’s Medley venue, last night to celebrate and experience the taste and culture of the Castilla-La Mancha region; along with special guests Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, arguably the area’s most famous cultural characters.
Very accessible to Madrid, the Castilla-La Mancha region features the cities of Toledo, Albacete and Guadalajara and is known as a haven for health and wellness seekers, golf and sports enthusiasts, hikers and nature reserve lovers and culture buffs – as well as Cervantes’ aforementioned famous characters, Spanish film legend Pedro Almodóvar has used the area for many a scenic backdrop.
While the winters are cold, summer temperatures average from the mid-20s to the mid-30s.
As well as presentations by Spanish Tourism Office head Ruben López-Pulido and Patricia Franco Jimenez – Tourism Minister for the Castilla-La Mancha region – guests were treated to a taste of celebrated local chef Jesus Segura’s food as well as wines from the region.
