The people are passionate about their food; probably the only other thing they are more or equally passionate about is their football. We have ate our way around Spain and everytime we leave Spain we feel like we simply have to go back again. So.. this series of post is basically a log of our food journey in Spain along with simple tips we employed in ultimate food enjoyment.
Now, to kick this off... I MUST start with Jamon - the Spanish mastery in curing "ham". In its finest form aka Jamon Iberico de Bellota, jamon is sweet-salty and melts in the mouth (my mouth salivates uncontrollably when I think of Jamon from the black pig!).
Tips:
1. Visit the local market & if able try some of the local food produce.
2. You can never have too much Jamon Iberico Bellota and Chorizo Iberico.
3. Knowledge about the local football team helps break the ice when dining in tapas bar.. :).
4. Explore the different regional cuisines and specialties.....
5. Avoid tourist trap & research local favourites before arrival if possible
