Regent Street festival to offer a Taste of Spain

People planning holidays in Spain this year will be offered a preview of some of the experiences on offer in the country at a festival in London.

A Taste of Spain will be held on Regent Street in the heart of England's capital city on June 6th.

The festival will feature a range of events and entertainment providing visitors with an insight into Spanish culture, many of which will be themed around sport.

There will be a dedicated 'hall of Spain' where guests can go on a journey through 80 years of sporting history, while Formula 1 fans can take on the challenge of changing a tyre against the clock or completing a lap of Barcelona's Montmelo circuit in a simulator.

Other attractions on offer will include a golf game offering a representation of a course in Madrid and a Scalextric track based on a site in Valencia.

People with a passion for food will be able to sample a variety of dishes at Taste of Spain, from Andalucian 'gazpacho' to 'jamon' from Aragon.

Spain is the leading overseas holiday destination for British travellers, with more than 13 million people visiting the country in 2009.
