26.07.2010 - For the second year running the graceful old town was host to flamenco and paella but this year John Farnworth, the acknowledged best football freestyler in the world was on hand to surprise the visitors with his ball juggling skills. Andalusian flamenco dancers performed whilst visitors tried their wonderful dry sherry, ham and cheese. The Balearic stilt walkers and the Foc i Fum group were accompanied by folklore with xeremiers (like bagpipes), whilst Fomentera offered a display of jewellery and craftwork. Galicia’s BoNo Vo group offered a traditional folklore mix along with the Galician strong liqueur, orujo, other typical liqueurs of the area and their typical sweets, Santiago stones and Valencia offered their speciality, paella. The Canaries were represented on this occasion by a photographic display of Gran Canaria, a promotion for the golf courses of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura and a tasting of the sweetmeats, Teide pebbles, which are on offer all over Tenerife.
