Culinary Delights of Spain
Sharing some of our favorite delicacies from Spain!
Spanish cuisine is a celebration of flavors, traditions, and regional diversity. Here are some iconic Spanish dishes!
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 flavorful dishes!
Paella
From the region of Valencia, paella is Spain's most famous rice dish with a medley of ingredients such as chicken, 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.
