Spain Cuisine
Posted on Monday, June 06, 2011
Spaniards eat out a lot and one of the best ways to try a variety of dishes is tapas (snacks). Served in small bowls, the idea is to share a mixed variety of dishes such of olives, squid, cheese, meat and bread. Other speciality dishes include Sopa Castellana (baked garlic soup), Besugo al Horno (seabream poached in a wine sauce), Cochinillo Asado (roasted suckling pig) and Cordero Asado (roast lamb). Many speciality dishes are made with seafood – eels, bream and squid. The area of Andalusia is noted for Gazpacho, a delicious cold vegetable soup and in the eastern regions there is Paella, a rice dish made with meat or seafood – well worth a try! Rioja red wine (pronounced ‘Ree-o-hah’), sherry (liqueur) and Cava (sparkling wine, which is much cheaper than champagne) are also popular.
We suggest, like most Spaniards, you drink bottled mineral water which is widely available.

What's the best time to take a Spain tour?
You can take some Spain tours year round, however April, May, June, September and October are the most popular times to tour Spain. There are some tours that operate November through March, which are cheaper than going during the peak travel months, but expect some cold weather depending on where you are visiting.
Mediteranean cruises that include Spain are usually available May through October.
