Pulpo a la Gallega: very simple but excrutiatingly delicious dish..

[nestor.koylyak]

Patatas bravas and grilled octopus is a must in Spain for me❤️

[noidelsucreTor]

Tip number #1 from a local: never, ever, eat paella from a restaurant if you see a sign on the street with pics of paella dishes (you will see it everywhere). Those paellas are frozen, industrialised, and taste NOTHING like the real deal. Paella is also expensive and takes time to cook so if you see deals for 15/20e you know it’s not real. Any real paella will cost you easily 50+ euros, and they are never served as individual portions.

Personally my favourite cuisine in all of Europe. It's rustic, full of flavour and humble.

I adore the tortilla. That was a regular thing on long rides around Spain, France and Italy... it was easy for my mom to make, and it made great food to shut me up when I got on her nerves. lol (Those, and Kinder eggs..)

Cada vez que dice "Payeya" se muere un gatito valenciano.😂😂😂

Valencian Paella actually has a recipe protected by its origin denomination.

[johnberesford]

cocido madrileño, my mother in law makes it all year round and you can't beat it.

[EnriqueScott-sevp]

Have it in the culinary industry for 40 years and I always look forward to these reports for DWe😊 so thank you

These are all very good, but as usual, the food from the North isn't mentioned and it's the best food in Spain. At the very least add 'Pulpo a la gallega' and 'Almejas en salsa verde' to those.

[yunmun]

All of them looks delicious!!! Paella with glazed rice crust at the bottom of the pan sounds fantastic. We have similar dish called dol-sot-bibimbap in Korea, a hot stone pot rice dish with variety vegetables and meat.

Say it with me USA people:

[yuricardenas]

My favorite Spanish's dish is tortillas.

[theworldbysiege]

One of my favorites in Spain was the navajas (razor clams).

[DanyRulezFerrol]

Im spanish and for me the true "national dish" is the Tortilla, maybe the Paella is the most know around the world but here is considered a regional food (from Valencia) but the tortilla feels like it doesn't belong anywhere in particular.

[teleopinions]

For the reporter, pah - Eh - yah. I don't understand why Americans hear, payeya.

[BoxcarBill]

Best advice when dining in Spain... stay away from the tourist restaurants. Watch where the locals dine.
