The best-known Spanish cuisine outside its borders is paella, gazpacho (cold vegetable soup), potato omelette, cocido madrileño (chickpeas stewed with meat), Iberian ham, churros and tapas. But there are many other traditional recipes on Spanish dinner tables. The main ingredients differ depending on the region:- Murcia and its stews: garden vegetables are staples in this region’s recipes. Some michirones with cooked broad beans and chorizo, ham, and paprika, or olla gitana (chickpeas with potato and pumpkin) are traditional Spanish dishes which will warm you up on cold winter days.- If you love meat, Castilla y León is an essential destination. You’ll see why when you try Segovia’s suckling pig, with its juicy meat and crunchy skin.
