Spanish cuisine is a reflection of the country's diverse history and culture. It varies widely from region to region, but some dishes are considered traditional throughout Spain. The cuisine is heavily influenced by seafood available from the waters that surround the country, and reflects the country's deep Mediterranean roots.
History[edit | edit source]
Spanish cuisine's history is a fascinating journey. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Moors all left their mark on the food, as did the discovery of the New World. The exchange of ingredients and dishes with the Americas, Asia and Africa are also significant.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
Key ingredients in Spanish cuisine include olive oil, garlic, onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Spain is also known for its seafood, meat, and poultry. The country is one of the top producers of saffron, an important spice in many Spanish dishes.
Dishes[edit | edit source]
Some of the most famous dishes in Spanish cuisine include paella, tapas, and gazpacho. Each region in Spain has its own specialties. For example, the region of Andalusia is known for its fried fish, while Catalonia is known for its seafood dishes.
Drinks[edit | edit source]
