Hong Kong’s vibrant culinary scene is about to get a serious dose of Iberian flair, as The Mira Hong Kong partners with Miramar Travel and the Consulate General of Spain in Hong Kong for a two-pronged gastronomic celebration this October.
Running in conjunction with the global “Eat Spain, Drink Spain” campaign, the hotel will host a spectacular recreation of four of Spain’s most iconic festivals alongside an exclusive guest stint by a Michelin-starred chef who has cooked for Spanish royalty. With early-bird tickets available at a 15% discount until September 30, here’s everything you need to know about these unmissable events.
A Night of Pageantry: The Four Great Festivals of Spain
On the evenings of October 7 and 8, 2026, The Mira’s 18th-floor ballroom will transform into a sprawling, colourful homage to Spanish culture. Gone are the ballroom’s usual formalities; in their place, guests will find a vibrant fairground featuring painstakingly recreated backdrops from four of the nation’s most beloved celebrations.
Attendees can wander through a flower-draped patio reminiscent of Córdoba’s famous Patios Festival, admire the elegant, striped marquees of Seville’s April Fair, feel the high-energy pulse of Buñol’s iconic La Tomatina, and stand in awe of the colossal, intricate art installations inspired by Valencia’s fiery Las Fallas. This is a photography lover’s dream, offering a multi-sensory journey across the country’s diverse regional traditions.
Feasting and Flamenco
Beyond the visual spectacle, the evening is a culinary feast. The menu is a veritable tour of Spanish gastronomy, featuring a generous spread of:
- Ten varieties of artisan tapas and freshly shucked seafood
- Hand-carved Iberian acorn-fed ham (Jamón Ibérico)
- Hearty mains including traditional paella, roast lamb, and slow-roasted suckling pig
- Sweet treats like the wildly popular Basque cheesecake and made-to-order Churros
- Bottomless pours of classic cocktails, including Sangria and Rebujito
As guests dine, they will be entertained by the soulful, percussive rhythms of a live Flamenco performance. To cap off the night, a lucky draw will see one fortunate guest take home a massive 7-kg, 24-month-aged acorn-fed Iberian ham valued at over HK$5,000.
Tickets for the festival night are priced at HK$928 per adult and HK$688 per child.
Royal Treatment: Michelin-Starred Chef Santi Taura Takes Over WHISK
For those seeking a more refined, avant-garde dining experience, The Mira is pulling out all the stops. Michelin-starred Chef Santi Taura will be making his Asian debut at the hotel’s exquisite WHISK venue on the 5th floor. Chef Taura, who helms the acclaimed DINS Santi Taura restaurant in Mallorca—a recipient of one Michelin star and the prestigious “Two Suns” rating from the Spanish culinary guide—will be at the pass for two exclusive evenings on October 8 and 9.
Renowned for his deep respect for tradition, Chef Taura has dedicated his career to reviving ancient, family-heritage recipes from the Balearic Islands. His menu at WHISK will feature eight distinct courses, showcasing his signature style of refined nostalgia.
The “Bygone Bounty of Mallorca” Menu Highlights
Guests can expect a journey through Mallorcan history and flavour, including:
- Modern interpretations of vinegar-cured local fish with crispy bread crumb
- Traditional Mallorcan fish croquettes
- Pan-seared amberjack with sweet pepper
- A rustic yet elegant organic sobrassada sausage with dark rye toast
- The pièce de résistance: Mallorcan lamb fregollo—a slow-braised lamb neck and sobrassada-filled pasta, complemented by a red wine reduction, shimeji mushrooms, mint, and wasabi foam
With a price point of HK$1,288 per guest (excluding 10% service charge), the eight-course dinner is an intimate affair, and a supplementary wine pairing menu is available for those looking to elevate the experience further.
