In this workshop, organized with the support of Turespaña through its Office in Mexico, the representatives of the network encouraged the Mexican public to increase their travels to our country .

Later, the delegation accompanied by Mr Alberto Levy (FESELA) visited some prominent Sephardic communities, and developed a work session at the Maimonides Sefarad Community Center which was attended, among other authorities, by the Spanish Ambassador Mr. Manuel Alabart .

The Spanish network has received in Mexico a very warm welcome. This meeting will indeed increase the friendly relationship between the two countries and will also be reflected in an increased flow of Mexican visitors to our destinations.
