What should you eat and drink in Spain? This is our first-hand guide to Spanish food and wine, written from years of living in Spain and a book we authored on one of its regions. From Madrid tapas and San Sebastián pintxos to regional cooking across Valencia, Tenerife, and Andalusia — plus Spanish wine, craft beer, and classic recipes like alioli, ropa vieja, and patatas a lo pobre — written by experienced culinary travelers who called Spain home, with food guides, drink guides, and recipes worth seeking out.
