On a beautiful, warm Sunday evening in June, members of the Marbella Dutch Business Club held their 15th edition of the Herring Party, at the Puente Romano Hotel’s superb “Chiringuito Ibiza”. In all, 280 extremelyelegant guests enjoyed Dutch herring and other delicacies such as wild salmon, eel, caviar, fish soup and, of course, delicious oysters. As is the custom every year, the “Golden Herring” was awarded to “a Dutchman” (male or female) who had made great efforts in Spain to promote “the good name of the Netherlands”. This year, Marijke de Nier of Residencia Estates received the prestigious award. Ger Vos and Mariska van Kolck made sure that everyone ended up on the dance floor, which helped turned the evening into another great party. As part of another Herring Party tradition, part of the proceeds of the evening went to the charity “Free a Girl”.
A special thanks to Eduard Megens from Megens Real Estate and Wim Lamers from Welex for inviting Home & Lifestyle Magazine to this spectacular event.
