Now an interactive exhibition at the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum in Valencia’s famous City of Arts and Sciences has gathered together an impressive collection of material from the Indiana Jones movies in order to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of this highly successful franchise.

Rimontgó was represented by both its principals, José and Antonio Ribes Bas, an indication of how important this region is becoming in the international luxury property market.

If so, he would have underestimated the pride local people continue have in their town and its origins and traditions. What’s more, given the Spanish penchant for celebrations and festivities an event such as a 400th anniversary is something that fires the imagination.

These days every British town, however small and insignificant, can boast at least one Chinese, Indian and Italian restaurant. However the latest culinary craze to find favour is the Spanish tapas bar. London-based José Pizarro originally trained as a chef in Cáceres, Extremadura, before moving to Madrid and the award-winning Meson de Doña Filo. After relocating to London, Pizarro became the Chef Partner at the popular Tapas Brindisa in the city's Borough Market for five years and in 2008 opened the highly praised Tierra Brindisa in Soho and Casa Brindisa in South Kensington.

It comes in the form of the official figures released on tourism numbers for 2011, which show an increase in arrivals of 7,7% over 2010, culminating in a total of 56 million visitors last year.

Since Quique Dacosta’s Mercatbar was very much on our ‘to-do’ list we were happy to abandon our original plans and give this very Spanish interpretation of the deli-cum-gastro-bar concept a try. Quique Dacosta Much like his Andalusian contemporary Dani García, Quique Dacosta is a young Michelin-star chef who early in his career established a reputation as an exciting new talent. Like his colleague, Dacosta has honed his skill as a talented and innovative creator of modern dishes – someone who leads the way in the new world of cuisine – yet he also shares a passion for those traditional recipes and ingredients that form the basis of Mediterranean cuisine.
