If we cannot argue with Spain for something, it is the quality of its meals and the amount of good, varied and rich dishes that we find both throughout the peninsula and on its islands. Today, in this article, we want to get you a little closer to many of these tasty dishes so that you know that local foods You can order in each place you visit in our wonderful Spanish corner.
We are going on a gastronomic visit to Spain, and we start with ...
Andalusia
The cradle of art has a lot to offer us, and the truth is, not because it is Andalusian, all its dishes are rich, varied, they follow the Mediterranean diet to a great extent and each of the 8 provinces has something that is very characteristic of it ...
Huelva
We started with the most southwestern city of Spain and from here we could well take several dishes that are worth trying and very much worth trying: How about some beans with choco? It is one of the main dishes of Huelva, and the cuttlefish, one of its star foods ... Hence they call them (call us) chokers to those who inhabit this wonderful Andalusian land.
Currently, this year 2017 where we are, Huelva holds the title to Spanish Capital of Gastronomy, so little more can we say to this. If you visit it, you will eat very rich (white prawns, strawberries and strawberries, hams from the mountains, Condado wines, etc.) and also quite cheap compared to other Spanish cities.
Cordova
If we go a little further east and we are more or less in the middle of Andalusia we find the wonderful city of Córdoba. To say Cordoba is to say gazpachoIe extra virgin olive oilIe organic black garlic from MontalbánIe san jacobos and flamenquines... Typical dishes that you can taste if you are lucky enough to have acquaintances or relatives there who make them often, as is my case, or if you visit one of the many terraces in the city.
If you visit Córdoba and after touring its beautiful historic center (San Rafael Bridge, Mosque, Cordovan patios, etc.) you have an appetite and you want to try something very Cordovan, we have already told you some typical dishes. Don't stop tasting them!
Cadiz
And if we drop by the cradle of comparsas and chirigotas, we have to inevitably go to Cádiz ... And with joy that we are leaving! Because in addition to being able to start a pleasant conversation with its wonderful people, you can try dishes as good as the following:
- Shrimp omelette.
- Rabbit In Salsa.
- Tuna in tomato.
- Cabrillas in tomato.
- Potatoes with cuttlefish (It is a typical dish also from Huelva).
- The chicken to the quill
- O a stripe with paprika.
As you can see, there is a lot of maritime stuff, and it is that Cádiz has one of the best fishing ports in the entire Spanish peninsula ... How then can we not taste the delicacies that come from there?
Ah! We forgot ... If you go to Sanlucar de Barrameda, it is almost unforgivable not to ask for some Prawns rich of the earth. Super tasty!
Sevilla
If you let yourself be loved by what they say is the happiest and sunniest city in Andalusia, Seville (a marvel!) And after stepping on great places like La Giralda or the Torre del Oro, you get the hunger bug and you love yourself go to bars or tapas, we recommend a very cool gazpacho if it is spring or summer season, as we are in, some potatoes 'dressings' that leave the stomach well full and without hunger for several hours or a few flamenco style eggs.
One of the best times to visit Seville, especially if you are a member, is the one that approaches in just over a week and a half: Holy Week. During this time you can taste in the city sweets and desserts as rich as some milk and sugar torrijas or unos honey pestiños, very typical of the area.
And in the next article, we bring you the rest of the delicatessen that Andalusia brings to the world. Because not only tourists have to enjoy our dishes. We Spaniards themselves have much to discover about our wonderful land, especially its gastronomic culture. Next, we bring you the best of the best of Almería, Málaga, Jaén and Granada, which have nothing to envy to the other 4 Andalusian provinces seen so far.
