Welcome Mexican Fiesta
Story
and Photos by Mary Buttaro
Held
on the breathtaking ocean view patio of Sunset Beach's
Sky Pool, 28 stories above the ocean, the Welcoming
Mexican Fiesta, the Festival's first event, could
not have been more spectacular.
The
Fiesta began with a sky dramatically colored by
the setting sun and continued until the twinkling
stars began to emerge. Booths were set up at pool's
edge. Palm trees were gaily lit. Lanterns set a
party atmosphere. A Mexican trio added lyrical sounds
that accompanied strolling guests as they moved
between food, drink, and local artisans booths.
The mood was joyful and light-hearted; the crowd
was open, friendly, and excited by the spectacular
view, the food, drink, and music.
Small
bites of Mexican specialties prepared by La
Paloma, the New Mexican Restaurant located
at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort &
Spa, were beautifully displayed and as
delicious as they looked. To compliment the food
and create interesting pairings, National Champion
Sommelier Juan Carlos Flores, of Pueblo
Bonito Sunset Beach and LaFrida Restaurant
selected wines, beer, and tequilas. Experts staffed
each booth and encouraged experimentation.
While
a local master's demonstration of the art of cigar
rolling engaged some, other guests chatted, nibbled
and drank, watch the sun dance on the sea as it
slowly melted into the ocean and sky colors gradually
faded to become a dark night sky full of winking
stars.
Guests
showed up hungry and left happy. It was a great
start to what would be a wonderful Festival. Completing
this extraordinary evening for some guests was a
signature Martini at Sunset's Cigar Bar. Others
walked along the beach at night, their choice for
a perfect ending to the day.
