The city of Utrecht in the Netherlands has hosted on Sunday, June 5, its sixth Cultural Sunday, under the topic of “Morocco Express”. The event started with a traditional Moroccan breakfast at 10:00 in the morning, which lured about 100 people. It was followed by a long series of various cultural events, held in 15 different sites in the city. These included concerts, conferences, workshops, photograph exhibitions, Moroccan cuisine tasting and more.

 

<i>Le Matin</i> reports that among the event’s highlights were a lecture by Paolo De Mas, a university professor and the former cultural attache of the Netherlands in Morocco, titled “Morocco-Netherlands 400 years”, and a concert by Andalusia, a music group that  combines Arab-Islamic music with flamenco rhythms, which attracted a lot of attention.
