Gastronomy of Spain

The gastronomy of Spain is as rich and varied as the country itself. First class ingredients, excellence in cooking, wise old tradition and promoting new culinary concepts, have led Spain to be on top of the culinary list in Europe. 

To define Spain in terms of gastronomy, is easy: olives, extra virgin olive oil, cured Serrano ham, fresh vegetables, sherry and garlic.  Add all of this to the chicken, fresh fish,  seafood, or any kind of meat, and you are summing up  the superb Gastronomy of Spain. 

The Spanish cuisine is extremely diverse and ranges from snacks (tapas) to generous portions of fresh regional and local dishes based on meat or fish and other unique dishes.
