Marco Polo Plaza Hotel has made an annual event of the Sabores de España in celebration of everything Spanish.  This is the third food festival of its kind to be hosted at Marco Polo and launched by none other than ambassador to the Philippines, Hon. Luis Arias Romero.  He was accompanied by his lovely wife, Doña Soledad.  Sabores de España was a timely celebration for Spain due to its recent acquisition of the World Cup!

In line with tradition, Cebu's renowned and foremost expert of Spanish cuisine, Ms. Gemma Pido worked closely with the über meticulous Executive Chef Luc Gagnon in presenting an impressive array of Spanish favorites, all of them from  Ms. Pido's heirloom collection of recipes.

The Amigos de España attended the opening ceremonies in full force, along with the Honorary Consul of France, Michel Lhuillier, and Germany's Honorary Consul in Cebu, Dr. Franz Seidenschwarz.


Note to Editor:
This one has lots of photos of the VIPs who attended.  The photos I can resend and their captions I will forward in a link to a Facebook page.  The album is in there and the PRs have kindly name-tagged everyone for us.
