Walking Holidays in Andalucia
Food & Drink
Five of Andalucia eight
provinces have stretches of coastline (Almeria,
Granada, Malaga on the Mediterranean; Cadiz and
Huelva on the Atlantic), while a sixth, Seville, has
a tidal river and a seaport. So, no wonder why
the cooking of the coastal regions is distinguished
by a huge variety of seafood. The fish market is a
great place to get acquainted with the local catch.

Tapas were invented in Andalusia. The word
means “cover”. In Andalucian wine-making regions, a
saucer is customarily placed to cover a glass of wine in order to
keep the little fruit flies from swarming in. A tidbit of food
placed on the dish helped attract clients to the wine bar, so the
cook - usually the owner's wife - would out-do herself to make
more and better ones. |
