I’m currently in my most favorite country on the entire planet. And there isn’t much to say about Spain because I’m too busy basking in the sunlight and taking naps. And after the photos above there’s not really much to add, is there? Padrons, sardinas, patatas bravas….enough said. Really.
More Spain coming shortly.

Never been to Spain. I will. The sardinas make me crave for their salty crunchy texture, for some wine, and for a nap too.

Just got back from Madrid/Barcelona 2 days ago, had the best time. The food is awesome. I have some great Tapas Bars in Madrid close to the Center. A great place in Toledo also. e-mail me if you want the details. I go every year and I also have a small vineyard in Da Coba (Monforte de Lemos) I plan on converting the Bodega to a studio Apt. Cheers!!!!! Ole!
YES – the pimientos and sardines are two of my absolute favorite parts of spanish food culture. Beautiful photos!
Hi,
MMMMMmmm sooooooo goooood.
Oh, I’m swooning over the chiles! And the potatoes. Those are single-serving platters, right….?
Spanish food is just gorgeous. I’m looking forward to hearing all about it!
Nothing compares to Spain! The food is so amazing, yet it is made from the simplest ingredients. Those patatas bravas are calling my name!
Great photos! Made me think of lazy Spanish road trips with great food and wine along the way…
What is that on top of your papas?
Looks muy delicioso!
I just moved to Barcelona to study, and would love to hear more about your favorite spots in Spain…we discover blog-worthy spots everyday! Hay mas restaurantes fantasticos que podemos probar! Me encantaria a aprender sobre sus lugares favoritas en Espana.
Great food great photo’s well done!
I’ve had a long-standing Spain obsession and cannot WAIT to visit there some day! In the meantime, I feel so lucky to have things like your gorgeous photographs and Spain on the Road Again to tide me over. I’m really looking forward to hearing and seeing more.
Went to Spain this summer, fell in love with the country and the food!!! Can’t wait to go back.
Love you photos!!!!!!!!!!! sardinas and patatas bravas yummy…..xx
Matt, did you by chance come to my family’s restaurant Cinc Sentits in Barcelona for a meal recently? I came upon your blog today (recommended in the GOOP newsletter) and your name is ringing some very loud bells.
I’m very glad you like my country and its food. Thank you for your post, we have more things than tapas and naps, each region has its own food which is very different from one place to another. I hope you enjoy all.
matt, me matas!
Hola Matt! Welcome to Spain!
I’d like to invite you to our hands-on cooking class in Barcelona, Cook & Taste. We make cooking workshops for travellers that are curious about local cuisine and we’d love to meet you!
I hope you enjoy Spanish food and… I’m looking forward to hearing about it!
And you didn’t even mention the Paella!!!!!
Tarragona & food photographers ROCK!!!
Just returned from a cooking trip in Spain this September and I’ve eaten roasted sardines 4 already times to try and satisfy the craving… Have had better luck with the pimientos de padron, which have been available fresh at the Spanish Table (their grower is in Sacramento, I guess). Delish!
Thanks for these great photos/recuerdos of a wonderful journey!
