Saint Patrick and the culture of Navarre in London

This week we have celebrated St Patrick's Day, a special day for the Irish people in the world and those who like the culture of the ancient Celts. You can have a look to a recent article of this blog here.

But today we are going to talk about our region and city which are being promoted in London. Here there is a short article and references you may use to learn about, and if you're in London these days, do not hesitate to try the products.

Of course the best reason of promoting all these is our love for our land.


After the visit of the branch of Navarra in the world to NY
, there is now another promotion in another English spoken country: London, England.
15th - 21st OF MARCH AT IBERICA FOOD & CULTURE THE NAVARRA PINCHO WEEK IN LONDON

A long-standing custom in Navarre is for groups of friends to leisurely stroll from one bar to another, to drink Chiquitos (small drinks) and eat Pinchos. In northern Spain these appetisers are. generally referred to as Pinchos, whilst Tapas is used in central and southern Spain. Pinchos, always prepared with fresh, fine quality produce, range from simple and savoury bit-sized food to sophisticated miniature haute cuisine.
Each year in spring, the Pincho Week is organised in Navarre, with the participation of a hundred or so bars (this year the contest is to be held from 17th to 25th April). Each bar prepares two Pinchos which are served at the bar, accompanied by a drink. The culinary standard of these signature morsels is high, whilst the price is as low as possible (€2.20 per pincho - tapa). Pincho Week has become a social phenomenon, attracting crowds of people on a scale similar to the San Fermin bull running festivities in July.
In fact, the bars in Navarre, headed by those in the city of Pamplona, have become a benchmark for miniature haute cuisine, a point of reference for other areas of Spain
