Don Harris, founder of La Tienda in Williamsburg, was honored with the Cross of Civil Merit at a reception at the Spanish Embassy in Washington, D.C.

La Tienda operates both a retail store and an online business that imports Spanish gourmet foods. His shop carries olive oils, hams, wines, kitchenware and many other products.
