Meet Johanna Hyves, IPCVB's French intern in her first guest blog of her travels with us. Learn about her hometown in France and why she chose New Iberia as her place of exchange.
Happy New Year! As cliché as it seems, a new year does bring with it new friends, new adventures and new memories, and Iberia Parish is already working on its resolution of bringing all of these to our visitors and locals in 2016.
New Iberia's sister city of Alhaurin de la Torre may be in Spain, but the twin cities share a long and strong history through tourists, culture and the annual El Festival Espanol. Read José Manuel de Molina Bautista's guest blog to discover another side of New Iberia.
Before you celebrate the history, culture and heritage of Spanish New Iberia at the El Festival Espanol de Nueva Iberia, learn about the Spanish roots in the parish in Chairman Ebrar Reaux's own words.
Our Iberian ambassadors of the month are Sa'Raceia Roman, Terrelle Bethel, Carroll Olivier Jr., Bryanna Vital, Kandrick King Jr., Jay'Quan Malveaux and NaToj Johnson for beautifying our community.
