Spain is definitely one of the most romantic destinations in the world, with it's beautiful architecture, sentimental music and passionate culture, is hard not to fall in love with it. The best thing about Spain is without doubt its delicious food! their famous tapas which are a smaller version of entree plates, are perfect for both a starving and not so hungry stomach. Smaller portions are good for people who are trying to take care of their weight, they can still indulge without feeling too guilty. But for the food lovers like myself, smaller portions only means paying less for more variety of food!, the good thing is that tapas places in Spain compete with each other to see who serves the biggest tapas at a lower price! Amazing huh?... which means more for less and ultimately a happy tummy.

Also what about the famous Spanish Paella, here we can see a regular version of Paella, which consists of yellow rice and a variety of seafood. we can also see a not so conventional version, which is called Black Paella or "Arroz Negre", its traditional spanish nameIt comes from Catalan and Valencia, and the black color comes from the Squash ink, with which it is made. To be honest, at first I was a little hesitant on trying it, but once I did I had to admit that it was absolutely delicious. 

And last but not least, the legendary Sangria!, perfect for refreshing during the insufferable hot weathers  of the Spanish summer. Even though, in spain they usually drink a different version of sangria called "Tinto de Verano" which is red wine mixed with orangina, yes they take out the best part; the fruit. But the drink is still delicious, and absolutely addictive. they even have a commercial version of it that you can find almost in every corner store.
