| All ready with the stand prepared and ready for the people to enter |
I got back
from the UK yesterday where Sam, Andres, Joe and I had been to exhibit at the
Inntravel Discovery day. Inntravel is the major travel agent with whom we work
and they specialise in independent holidays, with a bias towards people who are
interested in walking, good food and authentic accommodation.
 |
| At the end of the day once it was quieter |
Every three
years they organise a travel fair where all their suppliers (destinations and
hotels) are invited to exhibit their products. This year they celebrated it at
the Harrogate International Centre on Saturday the 6th.

| Our own apple juice and Cabrales cheese for the people to sample |
In total
there were about 70 stands (including ourselves) and it was attended by over
1,400 people, not bad considering entrance is by invitation only. The hotels
supply information about what they have to offer; the accommodation,
destination, activities etc. and normally have some products for the people to
sample. This year we took our own apple juice and some local blue Cabrales cheese
and homemade apple jelly for people to try.

| The gala dinner in the evening |
All in all
I think it was a very successful event, with lots of interest being shown by
people about Asturias and what we are doing. In the evening there was a gala
dinner with music by the excellent New York Brass Band (from York) and all in
all we had an enjoyable, if not tiring, time.
