El Viaje · Regional Spanish food
Spain, eaten by place
Spanish cuisine is regional first. This hub maps the country by how people actually cook and eat — signature dishes, pantry habits, bar culture, and the plates that define each place.

How to use this hub
Read Spain as a food map, not a single cuisine
1. Start with place
Pick a region for climate, pantry, and bar habits — then follow into dishes and ingredients.
2. Follow signature plates
Gazpacho points south; paella points east; pulpo points Atlantic; pintxos point Basque Country.
3. Compare neighbours
Adjacent regions share techniques but diverge on fat, seafood, and drink rituals.
