Along the same lines, it is expected that, during the tour of “Slices of Happiness” in Washington D.C., the food truck of happiness will reach places such as, The Capitol, Washington National Cathedral, Jefferson Memorial, Library of Congress, Lincoln Memorial , Washington Monument, and many more.
In total, during these four days more than 5 thousand trays of “Spanish JAMÓN” will be given away in the two US cities, showing the importance of this star product of our gastronomy, symbol of our tradition, exquisiteness and flavor.
