Galicia Gastronomic Forum
The flavors of the Atlantic.
There are few pleasures as pure as good eating and drinking and, to train the palate, A Coruña offers Galicia Fórum Gastronomico, the largest professional gastronomic event in northern Spain. It is, for its director,
Ana Trevisani
, "the great speaker of the kitchens of the Atlantic and the Galician pantry" and,
from April 7 to 9
, it becomes a showcase for the talent of the best Galician chefs and international figures. Exchange of knowledge, training and a look at the current gastronomic scene from the city that, in recent times, has become the culinary temple par excellence of Galicia. This new edition will open the mind to liquid gastronomy to show the latest trends in wine and cocktails because, as
Xoan Cannas
, director of the Galician Wine Institute, highlights, the Forum is also "a discoverer of trends and personalities." Once again, an essential event for professionals and gourmets.
'Travel to paint'
Sorolla's footprint. The light of the Mediterranean, the essence of
Joaquín Sorolla
's work
, has little to do with that which dawns in Galicia and, however, it also conquered one of the great masters of Spanish painting of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Within the framework of his titanic project
Vision of Spain
, commissioned by the
Hispanic Society of America
, in 1915 Sorolla traveled to Galicia to paint and strengthened his ties with a territory where, over the years, he forged friendships and disciples. To find out to what extent these stays in Galician lands helped to expand his art, the Sorolla Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts of A Coruña exhibit
Traveling to Paint. Sorolla in Galicia
. "If Sorolla was characterized by something, it was for always carrying his suitcase in his hand. From his beginnings as an artist he understood that inspiration and art had to be sought and that this meant having to travel to see other places and people to be in the circles. and live experiences linked to specific spaces," the museum highlights. Through more than 70 oil paintings, drawings, color notes and ethnographic objects, the exhibition contextualizes the artist's trips to the North and what remained of this land in his work. This weekend is the last chance to find out,
it closes on the 7th.
Helmut Newton
In the port. The
Marta Ortega Foundation (MOP)
maintains
that A Coruña is "a magical and inspiring place where the land meets the sea, a place full of contradictions and creative possibilities." And, for three years, it has delved into these attributes and contributed to making the city "fashionable" in every sense. After the success of her exhibitions on
Peter Lindbergh
and
Steven Meisel
, the president of Inditex now has
Helmut Newton - Fact & Fiction'
on the billboard , which intertwines the personal and professional aspects of this photographer who was competed for by the main magazines, from
Vogue
to
Elle
,
Marie Claire
,
Stern
,
British Vogue
or
Queen
. His work has been exhibited around the world and, until May 1, his most iconic images and his memorable portraits of famous people such as
David Bowie
,
Naomi Campbell
,
Karl Lagerfeld
,
Yves Saint Laurent
and others can be seen in the city.

On two wheels
Einstein's philosophy.
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To maintain balance, you must keep moving."
Albert Einstein
's best-known achievement
is the
Theory of Relativity
, but his legacy also includes phrases like this one, which inspired Canadian
Yves Simard
, co-artistic director of
DynamO Théâtre
, and French circus performer
Guillaume Doin
. Based on the reflection, they signed together
À deux roues, la vie!
(
On two wheels, life!
), a work that, after winning the Teatralia Performing Arts Festival in Madrid, arrives at the
Teatro Rosalía de Castro in A Coruña on April 5 and 6
. There are few opportunities in Galicia to enjoy this French company that stands out for its sensitivity when it comes to putting on stage the emotions experienced by young people. On this occasion, it takes us to a universe full of magical realism and patented magic in which a man must reconnect with his identity and, on two wheels, embarks on the path to his origins. But the bicycle is more than an object, "it is a fundamental element of life in which we must move forward so as not to lose balance."
