2010 Los Grandes de la Rioja: politicians and journalists


Lunch on Monday was at the Marqués de Cáceres was was attended by the president of the region and the local minister for agriculture. Ineveitably there was a group shot, which showed how markedly different the approach to group photography is between politicians and a group of journalists. The politicians were well behaved and quickly in place ready to face the cameras, while the journalists were much slower to assemble, some tried to hide behind their taller colleagues and treated the whole deal with some levity.

The President  wears the purple tie

Finally all together...
