Spice things up with rhythms of the Mediterranean Fiesta!
Dubai - Mercato, the first Renaissance themed-mall, is organizing a month of events based on the Mediterranean theme. The Mediterranean Fiesta started on 11th of May and will continue till the 7th of June with more surprises. To celebrate the summer season and share the Good Life, Mercato has combined music, dance and food in the Mediterranean Fiesta concept.

Music styles from the Latin Mediterranean region will be represented from Classical, Flamenco, Salsa, Tango, Chacha to Contemporary. The first weekend, Bellissima Italia, started on 11th & 12th May with a one- hour Classical concert with a pianist and charming violinists.
The second weekend goes under the name of Viva Espana, where a Latin professor, Rogelio Jose Baez Dias, will teach the audience how to follow the Latin rhythms focusing on the Spanish theme. These dance classes will take place in the Porto Vecchio Village on the 18th & 19th of May at 6:30 p.m, and will be followed by Spanish dance and Flamenco guitar concert at the fountain area.
As the third weekend starts, the mall will be holding more dance classes, again followed by a concert which will last for one hour. Club Med Europa weekend will feature Salsa, Bossa Nova and French Cancan.
