To round off the visit to Valladolid, the Indian Leaders had lunch at the International Cooking School of Valladolid, a reference center for professional development, which respects the gastronomic and culinary tradition by working towards continuous innovation and improvement. More than 10,000 students have passed through the different training activities of the School, and each year it receives approximately 400 foreign students. Students from more than 52 countries from the five continents have already passed through its facilities -with more than 3,000 m distributed in three floors.
It was a unique opportunity for the Indian Leaders to taste the renowned Spanish gastronomy in a more relaxed atmosphere with the presence of the Mayor of Valladolid, Óscar Puente, the director of Casa de la India, Guillermo Rodríguez, and the rector and vice-rector of internationalization of the University of Valladolid, Antonio Largo and Paloma Castro, among other guests. The International Cooking School of Valladolid also prepared a typical dessert of the Indian subcontinent, the Gulab Jamun, a nod to the cuisine of their country that the Leaders appreciated. The participants of the Program made a very positive assessment of the trip to Valladolid, not only because of the ties that unite this city with India, but also because of Valladolid's firm commitment to smart city projects, which generates enormous opportunities for cooperation with India.
