Picasso's coveted paintings, countryside photography, Latin cinema and the fiery Flamenco wait to be witnessed as a new Spanish cultural institute in the city throws open its doors
For those whose interests are a tad more tempo-driven, the fiery Flamenco does it. There's also countryside photography and nice cinema to chew on. "And contrary to what we believe, as a language, too, Spanish is easier in pronunciation than even Hindi!" signs off an enthusiastic Carmen Caffarel, director, Instituto Cervantes. You'd certainly enjoy her company. We did.
