For my summer holiday, I'm looking at Tenerife or Lanzarote. I've never been to either and apparently the beaches are fantastic as well as being suitably 'different' to make it interesting.

We often recommend ordering the 'menu-del-dia' as a way of sampling local specialities at a great price. That's where you'll find the pil pil and lacon and cuajadas you mentioned in the post. We are big fans of Portuguese cuisine as well and love nipping over the border for a fix of amazing coffee and pastries. We blogged about Spain's 'menu-del-dia' a few months ago if anybody isn't familiar with this great set-price meal! www.totallyspaintravel.com/2016/02/11/menu-del-dia-in-spain/ Nice ideas here – it’s always great to see people trying lots of different dishes in Spain, isn’t it?

I watched Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara when it came out. It involved a lot of Spanish cliches, but it was rather fun. I wouldn't like to participate in the tomato festival though - I find it such a waste of good food! In any case, I hope this post and the movie inspire you to travel to Spain sometime! :) Hi Abhay!

It is obviously a matter of taste, but I find it easier to come across great food in Portugal, versus Spain where people tend to settle a lot for tapas and lighter meals. Next time you come to visit Portugal I shall guide you through some tasty local feats! ;) Oh Agness.. how could you?! :P As someone who grew up in the border between Portugal and Spain, and had plenty of food from both sides, I’ve gotta say Portuguese food winds hands down.

If you travel around Asturias you can't miss out on some Fabada Asturiana too. Heavy, but so delicious! Have a great time traveling around Spain! :) Margaret, I feel you – that sounds really good!
