If you have already been in Spain, and you did not try it, there is something to regret. So, next time, do not make that mistake.

One of my goals which I wanted to achieve being in this wonderful country was to experience the Spanish lifestyle which seems to be really intriguing and for sure quite different that the polish one. Like we know, food is a key element of any lifestyle, that is why I tried almost everything that seemed to be new and tasty.

First of all, I want to tell you what the most typical Spanish food is. The food is called ‘una tapa’ which means an appetizer or snack and translates to small portion of any kind of Spanish cuisine. It may be cold or hot, it can be a portion of olives, cheese or even a sandwich with jamón serrano, is a type of dry-cured Spanish ham. There are regions in Spain where the tapas are for free and they are served as an accompaniment to beers or any alcoholic drinks.

They are traditional snack in Spain. Churros can either be thin (and sometimes knotted) or long and thick, where they are known as porras in some regions. They are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate, dulce de leche or café con leche.

Paella
It is a Valencian rice dish that has ancient roots but it is modern form originated in the mid-19th century. Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain's national dish, but most Spaniards consider is to be a regional Valencian dish. Valencians, in turn, regard paella as one of their identifying symbols. Types of paella include Valencian paella, vegetable paella, seafodd paella and mix paella.
