Spain is famous the world over for its enticing cuisine. Rich in variety, Spanish food represents a fusion of diverse cultures that, over the centuries, have called this Old World country their home. Phoenicians, Romans, Moors and a host of other influences have mingled and contributed their own distinct touches and flavors, making Spanish cuisine among the best in the world.

Because of the richness, diversity and quality of Spain’s food, and the good taste and warm hospitality of its people, eating is a celebration for Spaniards where a delightful meal can be enjoyed almost anywhere. From the comforts of home, to the relaxed atmosphere of a country village, to the hustle and bustle of the great cities and exclusive restaurants, eating is one of the most pleasant and fundamental rites of daily life in Spain.
