The ever-popular Mexican Food & Cultural Festival at the The Gulf Hotel Bahrain got off to a sizzling start last weekend with music, merriment and fine fare.
The acclaimed Mexican folklore ballet company Yolitzli Widen de la Laguna has been flown in to perform along with singer Pedro Vicente. Celebrated Chef Berta is conducting the creation of traditional cuisine in the kitchens of the Margarita Mexicana restaurant.
The visit has been coordinated once again by delightful Dr Imelda Widen, pictured right, born in the state of Coahuila, who has been promoting Mexican culture and tourism around the globe for several years.
The word Yoliztli derives from the native indigenous Aztec language meaning movement. The movement promotes the Northern Metropolitan area of Mexico called La Laguna, composed of three cities at the border of two Northern states of Coahuila and Durango.
The regional dances being performed represent the great variety of Mexico’s diversity and culture. “I hope the people of Bahrain who visit the hotel and enjoy the food and entertained in the restaurant will be inspired to visit us in Mexico on holiday, particularly our magical towns such as Dunas de Bilbao en Viesca.”
The festival continues until Monday.
