SPAIN FOOD CULTURE
Some tourists observe the Spanish way of eating with curiosity, while others absolutely love it. But there’s one word that describes the most popular Spanish foods: Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean cuisine is known for its many ingredients. Typical meals feature fruit, vegetables, bread, pasta, nuts, rice, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, fish, seafood, various types of meat, yogurt, cheese, and, of course, wine. This varied diet is considered one of the healthiest in the world.
