Dia de Asturias en Tampa
Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 9:46 pm
The Centro Asturiano de Tampa is hosting another Dia de Asturias en Tampa on Sunday, October 1.
Starting things off, a Santina Mass will be held at 10:00 am at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, with a statue of Nuestra Senora de Covadonga displayed. (The original statue comes via the University of South Florida and was formerly housed in the capilla of the Centro Asturiano Hospital).
Doors at the Centro open at 11:30 am with a fabada, choripan, salad and flan lunch being served. The favas were brought from Asturias ealier this summer and will be served with chorizo and morcilla.
Historic readings and a lecture on Pelayo will be given in the Covadonga Room.
A musical variety show follows in the teatro. Various indiano acts from the Americas are featured.
Finally, a silent auction and tapas closes out the day about 3:00 pm.
Cost is $30. Contact the club in Tampa or e-mail me if you'd like to attend.
The old joke in Tampa is, that when you're running late, you must be on Ybor City time. As the club is in the Ybor section of Tampa, we're late, recognizing that Asturias Day really falls on September 8. Oh well.
