Do Spaniards drink sangria? Are churros for dessert? Where can I get a good paella (only in Valencia?)? Great questions! When tourists hit Spain, they want to eat! And damn right, too! BUT there is so much misunderstanding about how, when and what we REALLY eat in this country. Which is why I made this video in Madrid – to help prevent Spain-bound travellers from falling into typical tourist gastro-mistakes. Watch, learn and drool!

THE RECIPE ????????
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Ingredients:
4 oranges
1 lemon
1 apple, 1 kiwi, 1 pear (or whatever selection of fruits you want)
100ml brandy
100ml dark rum
100ml sweet red vermouth
1 bottle red wine (ideally young and fruity)
1 cinnamon stick
3 Tbs sugar
Soda water to taste
Process:
1. Juice the four oranges and pour into a bowl (or jug -- but I’ll say bowl from now on for simplicity's sake)
2. Drop the skin of a quarter of the orange into the bowl
3. Juice 1 lemon and pour into the bowl
4. Drop the skin of a quarter of the lemon into the bowl
5. Peel and chop your fruit into small pieces and drop into the bowl
6. Pour the brandy, rum, vermouth into the bowl
7. Drop the cinnamon stick into the bowl
8. You can add the sugar directly to the bowl, or create a sugary syrup by dissolving the 3 Tbs of sugar into 3 Tbs of water by heating it on the stove. And then pour the sweet water in.
9. Add the bottle of wine
10. Cover the bowl and leave it in the fridge. The deal is the longer you leave it, the richer the flavours are going to get. At least 4-6 hours, but overnight and it’ll be amazing
11. To serve, add ice to a glass and a slice of fruit, pour in the sangria (but not the macerated fruit). Top up with a touch of soda water if you want to knock back the intensity a bit (or not - it tastes amazing straight too!)

I know many people are curious about paella. What is a real paella? What ingredients go in it? How do you cook it? In this video we make a real paella valenciana in on our patio, and answer some of those questions. Here are some things you need to know!
- A real paella valenciana is a dish that originated in the Spanish region of Valencia (where rice has been grown a long time)
- A real paella valenciana never has chorizo and never has a mix of seafood and meat
- The minimum ingredients for a real paella valenciana include garrofó (you can also use lima beans or butter beans), green beans, saffron, garlic, tomato, paprika, chicken
- Why is a paella sometimes disappointing in a restaurant? Because the true paella experience is like a BBQ - it's about being outside, cooking with friends. BBQ never quite tastes the same if you haven't prepared it yourself. So that's why the restaurant experience can be disappointing!
- If you want to get a paella pan outdoor paella kit or the right ingredients, check out La Tienda (they deliver in the US):

I remember about two years ago when I was giving a tapas tour in Madrid for my company Devour Spain, and in the first bar one of my guests said to me, “Are we in a tapas bar now?” Boom! That’s when I realised that although tapas have gone global, people who are visiting Spain for the first (and second) time often have no clear idea of what it really means to go out for tapas in this country. Or actually what tapas actually are.
And I don’t blame them. It’s flat out confusing. So, I made this video to try and explain what – after four years in Spain – I think tapas are. And to give you my three hard-won tips for going out for tapas like a local. Watch, learn and drool!

What is Paella? One of the best-known dishes in the Spanish cuisine
Generally acclaimed as the most famous Spanish dish, paella consolidates saffron-flavored rice with a wide array of extra fixings, for example, fish, vegetables, or meat. In spite of the fact that the first paella was made in Valencia, where it was made with occasional vegetables, poultry, and rabbit, in Spain the name is utilized to indicate all rice dishes arranged in a paellera or paella – the customary shallow pan.

It was once said that Spain is different. Well, it's no different from any other country, but like visiting any new country, when you don't know how the basic things work, it can be a challenge to get around and have a rich experience. So I decided to make a video which answers so many of the basic questions people have when they visit Spain. Here are some of the questions I answer:
- When do the shops open in Spain
- When do the tapas bars open in Spain
- When do the restaurants open in Spain
- What are tapas? How does tapas work?
- Do you tip in Spain?
- Do Spaniards take a siesta?
- Do people speak English in Spain?
- Is there bullfighting in Spain? Should I see a bullfight in Spain?
- How should I travel around Spain?
- How do people greet in Spain?

What do you eat and drink in the Mercado de San Miguel (aka the San Miguel Market)? It’s such a common question. And I understand the confusion! This place has so many options, and can get really busy!
In this video I take you inside the San Miguel Market for a food tour of sorts. We eat and drink at 9 different stops - including vermouth, olives, cheese, bacalao, fried fish, pintxos, paella and gelato. And I give you my honest opinion on each stop.
I also answer the following questions
- Is the Mercado de San Miguel a market?
- Is the Mercado de San Miguel a tourist trap?
- What time is the best time to visit the Mercado de San Miguel?
The places I stopped at to eat were:
1. La Hora del Vermut for vermouth and banderillas and olives
2. Mya Quesos for cheese
3. La Casa del Bacalao for bacalao and smoked sardines
4. Mr Pinkleton for wine
5. El Señor Martín for fried seafood
6. Arzábal for patatas bravas
7. Amaiketako for pintxos
8. Paella Power for paella
9. Rocambolesc for gelato
And I also give you my opinion on the market as a whole. Is it worth visiting? I think if it’s your first time then yes. But go when it’s quieter, and know that sometimes the prices are expensive. But that it’s a fun place to get your tapas sea legs. So it really should be the beginning of your tapas adventure, not the end of it.
And other traditional markets that I recommend you check out are:
1. Mercado de Antón Martín (don’t confuse this with Mercado de San Antón which is in Chueca - I don’t love it… it’s sort of a market, but not really a place where the grannies shop).
2. Mercado de la Paz
3. Mercado San Fernando
4. Mercado de las Maravillas
Enjoy!

This channel is all about promoting the small, often family-run tapas bars and restaurants that serve up delicious food across Spain. But there is another side to this country's tapas culture, and that's a number of large tapas franchises and chains that have up to several hundred outlets throughout the country. This includes 100 Montaditos, La Sureña, Lizarrán and - a smaller one - Tapa Tapa
Lots of locals and tourists visit these bars, but I've never been (maybe once to one of them for a beer). So I was curious... what are they like? So today we hit 4 of the biggest ones, and taste the food, rating the food of each out of 5.
First we went to Lizarrán, which was probably the best of the bunch. The whole experience is very sterile, but it was busy and the food, while not very good, wasn't horrendous. It was just - well - loveless. And cheap.
Next we went to 100 Montaditos. This chain has outlets across Spain, and even some in the USA. We were told off for filming inside, so we got the food to go and shot the scene outside. I've never tried it, but the food wasn't good in my opinion. But hey, it is fast food, and it is cheap.
Next up was La Sureña. This was a step up from 100 Montaditos, and the cazón tapa (fried shark) was actually pretty good. But the prawns were flavourless and the bravas were not - in my opinion - bravas.
Finally we hit Tapa Tapa, Bar of Tapas. This chain has been operating for a number of years in Catalonia and recently popped up in Madrid. It has excellent reviews online. And I can understand why. It all looks like tapas, it tastes ok, the service was very good... but it's just a bit joyless. I could be in an airport somewhere in the world. So, while the best of the bunch, and more expensive, it wasn't great.

What's Wrong with Spanish Coffee? ????☕
Something is very wrong with Spanish coffee. If you buy a pack of coffee in the supermarket, or a café solo in a bar, it too often tastes like acrid burnt rubber. Want to know why? In this video I delve into the mysterious world of torrefacto! So venga, let’s go! ????

When I first moved to Spain in 2011, I would buy all my coffee at the supermarket. But it never tasted very good. It always had this acrid, bitter flavour. I drink my coffee black, and I found the stuff I was buying and drinking in bars almost undrinkable. It was like burnt rubber.
And then one day I looked a little closer at the coffee packet. And I noticed this common word, “mezcla”. I knew that mezcla meant mix or blend. But I thought - a blend of what? So I read further, and then I started seeing this word “torrefacto”. I had no idea what it was, but I suspected it had to do with what was going on with the coffee in this country.
So I started investigating further, and I discovered that torrefacto is a process that is applied to coffee beans sold in Spain that make the coffee taste, well, horrible. How the tradition got started is connected to the civil war. And why we still drink torrefacto coffee in Spain is about tradition, and, well, habit.
In this video I explain what torrefacto is, do a taste testing with my wife Yoly, and head to Toma Cafe to get a good cup of coffee!
Below is a list of great coffee places in Madrid:
Toma Café (Malasaña)
Toma Café (Chamberi)
Cafe Tornasol (Antón Martín market)
Zero Point (Lavaiés)

Calle de Ponzano is really easy to get to. It’s only a few Metro stops north of the centre. Head for Metro stops Iglesia or Alonso Cano. If you look on Google Maps ( you’ll see that most of the bars are between Calle Rio Rosas to the north, and the start of the street about 4 blocks south. It gets really busy on weekends and evenings. We were there on a Wednesday at lunchtime which is when it’s quieter.
Here are the places we went to, and the address, and what we ordered

Old school beer and seafood bar - true Madrid! There are two on the street - we went to the original at this address:
We ordered:

Seville is one of the most amazing places in Spain to eat tapas. It has a fantastic mix of old school, traditional tapas bars, and modern, new tapas bars. It’s the capital of Andalusia and where the tapas tradition truly began. But if you want to get away from the tourist centre, and hit some very local and atmospheric tapas bars that are filled with locals and serve delicious food - then you need to head to Triana. It’s just over the Guadalquivir River and is a neighbourhood that has always had a very strong sense of identity. Locals say, I’m not from Seville, I’m from Triana!
In this video I head to five super local tapas bars in the Triana neighbourhood. We try everything from jamón to shrimp to pork cheek to tortilla. And we drinks wines, vermouth and sherry. I’m joined by some of my Devour Tours colleagues on the journey.
So, if you want to have a truly local tapas experience in a real Sevilla neighbourhood, I suggest checking out these five places.
????We head to Bar Santa Ana, Cervecería La Granda, Las Golondrinas, Casa Cuesta, La Antigua Abacería.????

Spanish Food Review - Eating Paella Valenciana in Valencia, Spain
Join us for a Spanish food review as we eat Paella Valenciana in Valencia, Spain for lunch. For the four of us we ordered appetizers in the form of tapas which included bread, jamón serrano and patatas bravas. Our mains were a Valencian Paella along with a seafood fideuà. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. Paella is a must try dish if you're visiting Valencia, Spain and we'd highly recommend this restaurant to try it.

Spanish Food Review - Eating Paella Valenciana in Valencia, Spain Travel Video Transcript:
It is lunchtime here in Valencia, Spain and of course we had to order Paella. This is considered the National Dish of Spain by foreigners but Spaniards will tell you this is more of a regional specialty. We've ordered two paellas. The first one is the Valencian one and then we've also ordered that is called Fideuà which is a noodle Paella which comes from Alicante. That is going to be coming in 20 minutes. In the meantime we've ordered some tapas. We have the Jamón serrano, we also have patatas bravas and we have some loaves of bread fresh out of the oven. This is going to be tasty.
La Paella Valenciana. Oh! Wow! Paella es la grande.
The food is here and we are going to start off with the Valencian Paella (Valenciana). Let's talk about the ingredients. This one comes with chicken. Rabbit meat. And it also has snails and it has green beans and it has cardo beans and what is this rosemary right here? This looks so good. I'm going to scoop some up. And the rice is cooked in saffron. That gives it its yellow color. And we should also talk about the size of the pan. The waiter was just explaining like this looks massive. It is only for 2 people but what they do is if they have more people eating out of it like 3 or 4 they just keep adding more rice and it will be thicker.
Let's try this. The meat is crispy and golden. So is the rice. I love it when you get the golden rice like that. That is the best part for sure.
What I find so neat about Paella is that there is so many different kinds you can have from vegetables to seafood to this traditional Valencian one. You can have mixed ones as well. Yeah, there was one with chicken. There was one on the menu that had black squid ink. We were eying that as well.
Next up this is the alternative to Paella. This is Alicante's version. Yeah. And it is made with noodles. That is right. Fideuà. But before I even talk about this I have to first talk about the Paella now. For the four of us to finish that I give us an A+ because that wasn't easy. That was a lot of food. And now we're moving on to round 2. Yes. We have another big big pot full of food to eat. Yeah look at those. I'm just going to use the spoon here. So this one has um prawns. It has cuttlefish, it has a different kind of noodle. Mussels. Oh mussels too. Red peppers. It has got a bit of everything. It smells really good. It has like a very strong fish seafood smell.
Time to tell us the price. We ate so much there is going to be no dinner tonight. That was just a wonderful meal. Just a great place. Really nice service. Great quality. So the meal in total came to 82 Euros. Just over 20 Euros per person. That included 2 really nice appetizers, complimentary bread. A liter of water to share and of course those two main dishes. So that was just outstanding value. We are all so full. We are going to be in full on siesta mode. If you're visiting here in Valencia, Spain definitely have to try the Paella and Fideuà. And also you should consider coming to this restaurant (Ocho y Medio) too.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine as well as Valencian food, Valencian culture and Valencian cuisine.

Is Spanish food good? Ok, it's obviously absolutely amazing - seems like every one knows that the food in Spain is on a whole new level, the cuisine is delicious!
Todays vlog covers all the food we tasted on our tour around Asturias in Northern Spain, not necessarily a food tour, but it may as well be with the amount of cuisine we've crammed into this one video! It's pretty clear our review on the various food we tried is positive, picking a fav dish would be hard, but probably Fabada... or the sea bass!
It's not considered food, but the cider of Northern Spain is definitely our scene. Not just the taste, but the whole tradition, the scene, the paired food and cuisine, they just get it!
This was our first time seeing the North of Spain and we loved it - it feels untapped, there's less people, less tourism and so much more to appreciate without the hustle. For a full read on what to do with 48 hours in Asturias check out our blog post:
