Spain has long since been considered one of the most fabulous, exciting, romantic countries in Europe. Every year it draws crowds in the millions, each to experience the many attractions in Spain that makes it such an incredible place to visit. All offer a unique view of their particular city, and give an experience that is linked to both the traditional, and the modern, aspects of a land long since considered one of the best in tourism.
If you want to know more and to understand better the Spanish kitchen, then you must read this post.
I discovered the spanish kitchen in February, while visiting Bilbao and I found it fabulous. And it is still my absolute favorite for its richness of flavors and spices.
My tip: do not eat in the restaurants near the main tourists attraction, dig deeper, where the Spaniards eat!
First of all, the basic characteristics of the spanish kitchen:
-massive use of olive oil. Do not worry about it, it is world’s best, and the healthiest of all edible oils.
-many dishes are based on sofrito (tomato sauce with olives oil, garlic and onions)
-garlic and onions are the main used spices. If you are sensitive to those, you are lost. No joking, let the house know about it!
-it is usually to drink during the meals
