Delicious: enjoy dinner
For one night and one night only, Camino, London's award-winning Spanish bar and restaurant in King's Cross, is offering one lucky reader and guest the chance to paint the town red – Spanish-style!
Opened in May 2007, Camino is London's true Hispanic hideaway. The restaurant brings together Spain's incredibly varied, regional food and drink under one happening roof. The menu is seasonal and the food is as locally sourced as possible, with tapas in the bar and an a la carte menu in the restaurant. Delicious dishes in the restaurant include, Arroz Negro, black rice with tiger prawns and alioli, in February, or a cut of succulent Bilbao rump steak in April. In the bar, the traditional tapas are perfect as snacks to accompany drinks and some of the Spanish delicacies available are Papas Arrugadas, Pimientos de Padrón and Salpicón de Pulpo. Camino's drink list is true to its Spanish roots, with a selection of the best Spanish wines, Sherries, cavas, beer, cocktails and homemade Sangria.
On the 18 April, Barcelona's King of Rumba', Peret, will make his UK debut at The Barbican. Peret: 50 years of Rumba Catalana + La Troba Kung-Fú will mix a blend of upbeat flamenco and Latin American styles first showcased in the 1970s. Peret's tracks have been covered by everyone from Tom Jones to David Byrne and his influence stretches from the Gypsy Kings to Manu Chao, to Ojos de Brujo.
