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!
The 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!

Mia - I'm pretty sure your tapa was a goat cheese concoction and one that I will definitely be trying soon. Today we will try some of Spain's other cheeses. I hope you like them as much as the first tapa in Bambú!
