Tertulia is a social gathering with literary or artistic overtones, especially in Iberia or Latin America. Tertulia also means an informal meeting of people to talk about current affairs, arts, etc. The word is originally Spanish (borrowed by Catalan and Portuguese), and has only moderate currency in English, in describing Latin cultural contexts.
It is rather similar to a salon, but a typical tertulia in recent centuries has been a regularly scheduled event in a public place such as a bar, although some tertulias are held in more private spaces, such as someone's living room. Participants, known as contertulios, may share their recent creations such as poetry, short stories, other writings, and even artwork or songs.
Usually, but not always, the participants in a regularly scheduled tertulia are, in some respects, like-minded, having similar political or literary tastes. Source: Wikipedia
