    Comida de Espana

    December 10, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    Jamon, Jamon, Jamon everywhere.

    We saw it as a sandwich, as an ice cream cone, with eggs, and as potato chips? Spain really pushes the Jamon in the tourist areas although it is also a local staple cuisine.

    Micheladas - apparently a Mexican cocktail we've never heard of. It's kind of like a Bloody Mary but instead of vodka it has beer. This restaurant served the drink with a SIDE of spicy sauces. Dave was very confused and Emily was trying to steal the spicy sauces for her enchilada. Lol.

    Spanish bread tasted very similar across cities and restaurants. It wasn't bad but wasn't particularly good either.

    We very much enjoyed the tapas scene in Spain. Although it is more predominant in Southern Spain, Salamanca had a great tapas restaurant as was San Miguel Market in Madrid. Spanish olives were great along with their sausages and porks. The Jamon was excellent and a must try when in Spain.

    Fun fact, Madrid hosts the largest fish market in Europe and second largest fish and seafood market in the world second to Tokyos.
