A beer festival is to
be held in El Puerto de Santa Maria starting today and running till the 7th
of September at the Centro Comercial Bahia Mar. The intention is to woo German
tourists with products from Germany such as beer, food and music. According to
one of its promoters, Elsa Kramer of Bierfeste, it will be the little brother
to the famous Munich beer festival.

What are they thinking?! The Germans have plenty of that in
Germany, and it is excellent. Why go to Spain for it? El Puerto is world famous
for its fine Sherries and its gastronomy which match the climate perfectly. It
might be of interest to a few Portuenses (people from El Puerto), but why would
Germans travel that far for a beer festival they can do better themselves? True,
as the mayor says, it will provide employment, but only for a couple of weeks.
Why not try and attract tourists to what El Puerto itself
has to offer, which is plenty. Any serious German tourists would, I am sure be
far more interested in that.
