Food in Spain: the definitive guide to not get lost ordering

People has some clear ideas about Spain. We cook everything with chorizo and tapas are the same you can find outside Spain, are the more common topics. Both of them are not true. We like chorizo, but not that much and tapas are not the typical tapas you know. Confused? I want to help you choosing your lunch. Take a look :)

• TAPAS: is usually a small portion of food. But the quantity is not the same (as well as the price) in all parts of Spain. In the North and South we like everything big, that is why our tapas are cheaper and in comparison just as big as the ones in the rest of Spain.

Tapa in the North

Tapas as you know them

Can you spot the difference? Yeah, I know all of them are in the same plate, but do no look at that. Tapas, as Spaniards know them, are small and for one. Whereas the ones on the bottom are for sharing. These last ones are the ones you know. Not clear? Take a look to the price. Tapas for one range from 80 cents (yes, they DO exist!) to 2€; tapas to share are over 3€. In Catalonia you can find these type of tapas.

• PINCHOS (or pintxos): they are smaller than the tapas and are supposed to last one or two bites. Definitive hint: they come on bread or with a toothpick.

• RACION: This is how we like to share. Ración are a big portion of food for two or more. We usually order several raciones when we go out with friends. I recommend you do the same to try several delicacies. 

There are places where the raciones are so big that we order half ración. But I think you can get an idea.

With these tips you should be the master of Spanish food and do not have any problems ordering. And I am sure you willl get the best taste of Spain.

Photos: Google, I promise to get original ones.

11 reasons to visit Galicia

Probably one the least known parts of Spain, Galicia (where I come from) in the northwest, has a lot to offer. From its food to its climate, apart from its natural beauty, I give you 11 GOOD reasons why you should visit us.

• Countryside. Have you been in Ireland or England? We have greener pastures, amazing rivers with fjords, and stone built houses, churches and castles. The forests are everywhere and a weekend in one of our rural houses combined with the  rest of the reasons in this list, will take all the stress away.

• Weather: not as hot as the South of Spain, Galicia is the perfect place to be in summer and spring. Winters and autumms bring a bit of rain and temperatures over 10º C.
• Coast: stunning landscapes and beaches to die for, in fact As Catedrais in Lugo, has been ranked 6 of the top ten beaches in the world by Tripadvisor. We were once considered the end of the world, for Romans there was nothing further away from Fisterra (end of the world). The sea is always breathtaking in Galicia, with over 1600 Kms of coast you will never get bored.

As Fragas do Eume, burning

This is the clearest feeling thousands of Gallicians seeing one of our most precious treasures burning as a result of the hand of some soulless people.

Rumours say many companies have interests in the area. 

Apart from financial interests, Nature does not deserve this.

There are no many places left in the World that men have not destroyed yet.

Before the fire...

Let's leave Nature run her own ways and all the species in the area can be saved as well as all the green that was bringing together that lovely place.

But it´s also great news for people wanting to know a bit more about or beautiful county. Not to mention all the Galicians that will go on visits there!
