Tapas

From patatas bravas (spicy potatoes) to gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) and tortilla española (Spanish omelette), tapas allow you to savor a variety of dishes in one sitting. Embark on a tapas crawl in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, or Seville to sample these!


Paella

From the region of Valencia, paella is Spain's most famous rice dish with a medley of ingredients such as chicken, rabbit, seafood, and vegetables, combined with short-grain Bomba rice. 


Jamón

This dry-cured ham has lots of flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Savor thin slices of jamón paired with crusty bread, or try it wrapped around sweet and juicy slices of melon for a delightful contrast of flavors.

Seafood

With a long coastline that stretches along the Mediterranean Sea, Spain is blessed with an abundance of fresh seafood. Indulge in grilled sardines in Andalusia, sample Galician-style octopus (pulpo a la gallega), or feast on the Basque specialty of marmitako (tuna stew). 


Desserts

Sample crema catalana, a traditional custard dessert similar to crème brûlée or try some churros and dip them into a thick, rich chocolate sauce. For a taste of Andalusian tradition, try a Tarta de Santiago, an almond cake dusted with powdered sugar.
