In its XXXVII edition, the Republic of Korea is the guest country of the Veranos de la Villa 2021 festival organised by the Department of Culture, Tourism and Sport of the Madrid City Council.
In The Diplomat we already reported on the exhibition Catorce Relatos Breves (Fourteen Short Stories), which will be on show at the Centro Cultural Casa de Vacas (Retiro) until 29 August. Until 29 August, a varied programme of cultural activities will be held in different venues around the city so that locals and visitors to the city can learn more about Korean culture through its artists.
