FAQ about Food Tours in Spain
-
What types of excursions will we find on your Spain foodie tours and wine tours in Spain?
Our gastronomic tours of Spain include foodie excursions but also visits to cultural sites. The specific activities will depend on the region: you might visit a farm that produces jamon or local cheese, or a fish market by the sea, or an olive grove and press on one of our culinary vacations in Spain. But you might also visit local museums and monuments – from Madrid’s Prado to Bilbao’s Guggenheim, from Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia to Granada’s Alhambra Palace.

What if I am more interested in wine tourism in Spain? Do you offer wine tours in Spain as well?
Our Spain luxury trips, in general, include a strong wine component – it is an intrinsic part of Spanish gastronomy. If you are looking for wine tours in Spain you will find on our tours visits to local wineries with wine tastings, such as of Txakoli and Rioja wines in the north, Priorat wines in Catalonia, and of course sherry in Jerez. Wine tourism in Spain has grown increasingly popular over the past years, and it is a great part of our cooking vacations in Spain.

What is the culinary capital of Spain?
While many cities vie for this title, San Sebastián in the Basque Country is widely considered Spain’s culinary capital. With more Michelin stars per capita than almost any city in the world and a thriving pintxos culture, it represents the pinnacle of Spanish gastronomy. However, Barcelona and Madrid also claim significant culinary importance, each offering unique contributions to Spain’s gastronomic landscape.
-
What dish is Spain most known for?
Paella is perhaps Spain’s most internationally recognized dish, particularly the traditional Valencian version with rabbit, chicken, and local vegetables. However, Spain’s culinary identity extends far beyond this iconic rice dish to include gazpacho, jamón ibérico, tortilla española, and countless regional specialties. Spanish cuisine is also famous for its tapas culture, where small, flavor-packed dishes create an entire way of dining and socializing.
