In Catalonia, as in the Mediterranean in general, summer is a time for organising festivals in the streets and "plazas". As well as complying with their rituals, these festivals provide opportunities to chat, dance, eat and drink.
In these Catalan "verbenas" (festivals), it is customary to eat "coques", a type of collective cake, cut into slices, which can be sweet or savoury. It is also customary to drink cava, a sparkling wine associated with parties that is never drank without first making a toast ("salut!").
All of the conference participants are invited to this "verbena", where there will be the chance to "communicate informally", as well as to eat "coques", drink cava, dance and listen to music by the famous group La Vella Dixieland.
