by the way= the mediterranean is a state of mind
YASMIN has it center of gravity in the mediterranean
but is for anyone who has ever been here or would like
to come here to visit or to live. Yasmin is organised by
people around the mediterranean from beirut to valencia,
but the universe is our oyster.
