Definitive guide to Spanish food 

Are you planning a trip to Spain this summer, perhaps to visit the beautiful beaches of Costa Dorada, discover the architecture of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona or stay in the seaside towns of Costa Brava? If your answer is yes, here is the ultimate guide to Spanish food, to appreciate the country’s incredible gastronomy.

Paella 

Paella is probably the most internationally famous Spanish dish, so famous that it even has its own emoji on whatsapp! Paella can be tasted in all communities of Spain, however, its origins come from Albufera de Valencia. There are different types of paella, but the main ones are: Valencian paella, seafood paella and mixed paella.

Tortilla de Patata

Another Spanish dish that is well known internationally is the tortilla de patata (potato omelette). The first document that has been found about this delicious dish dates to 1817 in Navarre. A question that divides Spaniards is: do you prefer tortilla with onion or without? We Spaniards love this dish so much that there are even restaurants exclusively for tortilla de patatas, to taste the subtlety of every little variation!

Jamón Ibérico

One of the greatest pleasures in the world (unless you’re a vegetarian!) is tasting an Iberian ham. Once you’ve tried this tasty product, there’s no turning back and you can’t stop. The 5J or pata negra varieties are recognized as the best hams in the world. If you are visiting Salou, Cambrils, Barcelona or anywhere else in Spain, think about buying a pack of ham for your family or friends at home, they will be delighted.
