I am usually quite reticent when it comes to seafood, but believe me, gambas ajillo in Spain are simply delicious! Buen provecho! I was lucky to try it in Madrid, and I can say that its wonderful intense flavor has totally impressed me from the very first bite. Apparently, this garlic mayonnaise popular all over Spain called alioli is neither Spanish, nor French, and not even Italian — it actually originates in the Middle East, according to Jamie Oliver, and I have no choice but to believe him.
Allioli , on the other hand, is a Catalan sauce made with garlic, olive oil, and salt — no eggs at all, while aioli is a Provencal term describing the same garlic and olive oil emulsion. Think this is confusing?! With such a simple recipe, alioli should be very easy to prepare. Oh, Spain, I miss you so much! I would say that one of the things that impressed me the most in Spain were those crowded long bars above which were hanging, instead of chandeliers, some huge chunks of jamon.
So surprising at first sight, and yet so familiar after a week or two of bar hopping through Madrid! Enjoying a drink in a delightfully old-school establishment while the bartender cuts you impossibly thin slices of the delicious ham is a great, authentic experience that everyone should try while in Spain! If you happen to spend your vacation in Marbella , or anywhere in Andalusia or Costa del Sol, you should try the grilled fresh fish on the beach. Do not bother to find a restaurant, the Andalusian beaches are equipped with some ingenious boats filled with sand, where the fishermen themselves cook some of the most delicious sardines on burning coals.
A nice, healthy, and cheap meal, just perfect for a hot summer day on the beach! These being said, I hope my article will help you add a bit of flavor to your Spanish experience! If you have a nice memory related to food in Spain, or a favorite Spanish dish, do not hesitate to share it in the comments below! I just took a cooking class in Barcelona and learned how to make Crema Catalana.
It was easy and delicious!!! Sounds great! I might try this on my next trip to Barcelona because I never manage to cook a Crema Catalana a la carte. Thanks, Laura. I wish I would live in Madrid, too.

Paella's bright yellow rice and the different vegetables and meat, makes it a colorful dish One of the most traditional and famous rice dishes in Spain, paella comes in several varieties, but if you can, try Valencia paella.
Try dipping churros in melted chocolate Churros are a sweet, popular snack of hot fried dough coated in sugar crystals. Be careful with the red sauce! Sangria is a refreshing drink and must try when in Spain While technically not something you can eat, no trip to Spain is complete without a glass or two of sangria. Croquetas are perfect company for your drinks Another favorite tapa and perfect bar snack is this fried ball of delectable goodness. Empanadas If you speak Spanish you may already know what to expect when you order it.
