Within the week, I will be back in Salamanca. As you may already know, the town has a wonderful tapas scene (perhaps the most popular area being Calle Van Dyck) offering bbq ribs, suckling pig, croquetas, pincho moruno, cheese and cured ham (just to name a few). With all of this great food in mind, here are three of my favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat:
When I think of Spanish food, the first thing that comes to mind is tapas because I've heard so much about it from my friends who have travelled to Spain. I couldn't wait to try the tapas here- which, thanks to Andy- I was able to try my first tapa today. It was pan con queso, tomates, y cebollas y era deliciosa. ¡Gracias, Andy! I has a delicious glass of cold sangria to wash down the tapa, which was perfect considering it was HOT today!
ReplyDeleteThe other thing that comes to mind when I think of Spanish food, is Spanish wine. I love wine and I was so excited to hear that you can buy a good bottle of wine here for 5 euro or less! I will definitely be taking advantage of that.
Other than tapas and wine, I didn't really know what to expect to be quite honest, but I was and still am excited to try all the food Spain has to offer me! So far, I have been pleasantly surprised. I had a Spanish tortilla las night for dinner with my host mom, and it was a delicious blend of eggs and potatoes.
I have heard that the seafood is amazing here too- which I definitely want to explore- especially because I don't know a whole lot about seafood. After attending class today, I learned, that in addition to seafood, the Spanish love pork and curing their meat- which sound great to me! I am excited to try the cured meats, especially the pork, and learn even more about Spanish food and culture!
