A brief note to record the success of the Celebration of Independence Day of Colombia in Dublin yesterday, July 21, 2012. There was a crowded attendance, more than 200 people gathered to celebrate the patriotic date together and share a few hours of joy with Colombian fellows and friends. The food market was a success, was very varied and it was well received; everyone had the opportunity to taste some of his favourite dishes.
