The cultural fusion continued with a vibrant performance by Dancing Ganesh, a multicultural group directed by Gustavo Corral, blending Indian traditional motifs with modern dance influences from Spain and Latin America.
A particularly moving segment of the event was the screening of the short film "ESPECIAS", directed by Cairo Correa, which poetically captured the sensory, historical, and emotional connections between India and Spain through the theme of spices and shared culinary heritage.
