Spanish cuisine on our Highlights of Northern Spain tour

Spanish paella

Is sinking your teeth into sumptuous cuisine a priority for you when travelling to new destinations? Tantalising flavours and mouthwatering moments are key highlights during our Highlights of Northern Spain tours. We’ve collated some top Spanish dishes to sample whilst in this breathtaking country: 

  1. Paella – Nothing quite compares to a traditional Spanish paella. Did you know that the all-important ingredient in a high-quality paella is the rice itself? The Bomba or Calasparra varieties are renowned for best absorbing flavours. Journeying through Spain without tasting a paella is like touring Britain without tucking into a roast dinner! 

  2. Patatas bravas – This is a world-renowned tapas dish which is iconic around the globe! Patatas bravas varies throughout different regions, however all varieties feature sumptuous fried potato chunks. In Madrid, where the dish originates from, paella is served with Spanish paprika (sweet and spicy pimenton). 

  3. Pollo al ajillo – We have encountered many Spaniards on our tours that inform us that their grandmother makes the best pollo al ajillo! This is a chicken dish which incorporates garlic, rosemary, thyme and dry sherry or white wine. A must try for your Spanish food itinerary. 

  4. Gambas al ajillo - Seafood fan? This simple yet delectable dish features sizzling prawns accompanied by sliced garlic and green chilli. On our Highlights of Northern Spain tour, our guests are taught to master the art of Spanish cuisine with a traditional cooking class in Pamplona. Join us and learn how to integrate Spanish cuisine into your cooking back home!
