Spanish Cuisine

The Spanish is the most passionate nation in the world. The cuisine totally reflects this feature. Much meat and fish with a lot of vegetables – this is the image of Spanish cuisine. The locals do not prefer spices; they use them but quite a little. The most popular Spanish specialties are Fritura (the seafood, fried in thin batter), Pescado (a whole fish cooked in a block of salt), Gazpacho (a cold soup, made of tomatoes, garlic, cucumber, peppers and onion). It should be said that the most wide spread way of fish cooking is the so-called “la plancha”, when fish is griddle with olive oil, and served with garlic, lemon and parsley.

Spain’s most famous dish Paella is usually made of beans with off cuts of rabbit and the short grain rice. “Tapa” - this notion originated from Spain and was spread all over the world. If we translate this word into English we will get the word cover. Tapas can be different; they can be made of cheese, fish, eggs, vegetables.
