Would you agree with me if I told you that the culture of a country is discovered through its cuisine… This week, I propose you to discover 10 Spanish specialties, which you will have the opportunity to try during your potential future trips.
We start this top 10 with Cava! Cava, the famous Spanish sparkling wine, is often compared to champagne. It is a Spanish specialty, but more particularly Catalan since 95% of its production is based in Catalonia. We assure you, this wine is so good that it will make your head spin!
We don’t have to present it anymore, the pan con tomate is surely the cheapest tapas! Composed of toasted bread with tomato on top, it is simple, but nevertheless very delicious!
You may have heard of them in Latin America, especially in Argentina…. and it’s true! Empanadas are prepared a lot in Latin America, but they are just as much in Spain! These little puffs filled with stuffing will delight you! Often eaten as an appetizer, you can put whatever you want inside. And for even more deliciousness, I advise you to try the empanadillas… It’s the same thing, but in a smaller size.
The famous ones…we guarantee you, these potatoes outdo all others! These big potatoes may look like just a potato, but they come with a tasty, spicy sauce that gives them even more character!
I reassure you, this is not pet food…these croquettes, also called “croquetas”, look like balls of meat, often filled with chicken, ham but also fish.
This dish made of cabbage, potatoes and ventrèche (we let you see the definition on the internet) can sometimes be scary, but we reassure you, it is killer! Of Catalan origin, it is also found a lot in Cerdanya.
City by the sea, with a large port, fishermen are numerous in Barcelona, and this, for our greatest happiness! We advise you to taste the squid, very appreciated here!
Sangria is Spain’s number one specialty drink. It is a fruit-flavored drink made with wine or cava. Whether red or white, this fruity drink will quench your thirst during the hot summer months! But be careful, it is very good, it’s true, but still to be consumed with moderation!
Ah… the tortilla, you’ve heard of it for sure! This thick omelet filled with potatoes has not lost its popularity and continues to amaze our taste buds!
Number one! The most famous Spanish specialties: Paella! Made of round rice and cooked in a round pan, this friendly dish is best enjoyed when eaten with friends!
