Tip about paella: two great places to eat them: in Madrid at Cañas y Barro // in Valencia at Borja Azcutia. And best tortilla española ( or best pincho de tortilla) in Juana La Loca, in Madrid.

Es verdad todo lo que dices. Pero especialmente lo relativo a la Paella. Muchas veces me da pena la impresión que los turistas se deben llevar de las terribles "paellas" que sirven en algunos restaurantes turísticos en las grandes ciudades... Generalmente, en muchas casas españolas, se come paella los domingos al mediodía. Pero, desde mi punto de vista, el verdadero plato nacional español es la tortilla de patata. p.d. también adoro las gambas al ajillo.... yummmmmmmmy. Saludos!!!!

Quick guide for tourists: you came here to eat, Galicia and Pais Vasco are the best regions, followed by the rest of the northen regions. The best places to eat are the small towns and even there you can find good and bad places to eat. Northen provinces have a mix of Atlantic and Mediterranian diets, something you don't encounter elsewhere

Es muy correcto lo que dices de la paella. Además, está el tema del tipo de agua de cada zona de España. El agua de Madrid es muy pura y es perfecta para el cocido, pero no tan adecuada para la paella. El agua de valencia es "dura", contiene mucha cal y esto evita que el grano de arroz se abra (se "esclate" se dice en Valencia), lo que es perfecto para la paella.

My BF lives in Barcelona and born in Asturias and he loves churros anytime especially after dinner. There are several places in Barcelona and Tarragona that sell cinnamon/sugar coated churros as well as chocolate/cream filled ones which are his favorite. (He has a sweet tooth) He said its more like a dessert for him and his friends. The sangria thing is true he said as well as the Paella. The Paella is usually consumed usually on Thursday's.

Tinto de verano con lemon is a staple here in Andalucía. Like he said, very simple. But in Barcelona, we found places that served it with vermouth, which changes everything. Just be careful. sometimes Sangria is the better option. Paella is something you get for free on Sundays in the cafes for lunch.

Todo se resume a : Paella: Generalmente paellas congeladas o pre-cocinadas , a menudo las paellas que se pueden pedir para 1 persona y te la sirven en una paellera de 1 es de este tipo , vienen listas para meter al horno y andando ,los restaurantes que hacen buenas paellas te las sirven mínimo para 2 personas o sirven raciones. Sangría: Poco misterio , si no entiendes te la cuelan con sangría o tinto de verano de bote o grifo y andando , hay que pedir una sangría preparada no echar un par de hielos y unos trozos de naranja y limón. Churros: Igual que las paellas , congelados . Churreros que hagan masa y los vayan preparando al momento ... poca cosa y obviamente en restaurantes y bares no esperes encontrarlos frescos . Ferias y churrerías donde aún pueden encontrarse . Es una pena no dar a conocer a los turistas lo mejor de nuestra gastronomía pero bueno aún así pienso que lo que comen aquí está muy por encima de la media de todo lo que comen en otros países .

Sangria is for parties or reunions, when you go out for diner with friends in summer time, picnics, local festivals, .... , but it is not a regular drink. In summer I prefer tinto de verano in stead of beer. Unfortunately it is completely unkwon in the US, so ha have to drink it only at home. The best tinto de verano I've drunk ever was in Granada and the best tapas in Spain are in Almería and Granada. A good paella is awesome and you can find it in many places not only in Valencia coast, but you have to make your search. Everybody knows that tourist locals have always garbage food. I would recomend arrocería Gala in Madrid, not the best but it is a very nice place and with a great variety of rices.

Nice video! I am a Spaniard living in the US since 2008 or so, and I am starting to gain popularity with my videos about differences between Spain and the US. I explain a lot of silly myths about Spain that US citizens typically believe as true. So many people here believe that we eat tacos and frijoles with chile in Spain, or that we are located somewhere in the middle of Mexico. Not to mention that many US people totally believe that Spaniards are definitely not white.

Thanks for the video. HERE MY REVIEW (I'm Spanish) We don't really have hot/spicy food. Gambas al ajillo or callos are quite spicy cause are made with chilli. Tbh I prefer Tinto de Verano than Sangria. But, Tinto de Verano is normally served in Summer. Spanish will drink a glass of red wine (tinto) or white wine instead of Sangria. Sangria, calimocho, etc are mix drinks usually drank in parties (home parties, celebrations like weddings...). Spanish first drink is beer! Regarding Paella you are wrong. Paella (marisco) is not from Valencia, Valencia Paella is a mix of veggies and meat. The thing is that Valencia has some popular yummy dishes made by rice like arros caldos. So, as I said there are different types of Paella. Spanish don't eat paella in a restaurant, we just cook it at home since we know the quality will be better. On average a paella takes 2-3h to cook so what you get in a restaurant made in 20min is not a fresh paella. Moreover to prepare the seafood that goes to the paella it can take up to a day to prepare and clean! Tapas is not what people thinks. 20 years ago you could order a beer or a soft drink and get a tapas for free (olives, spanish omelette, almonds, etc) everywhere in Spain. Things just changed. Tapas got famous outside Spain so many decided to make Tapas bar which serves tapas and you have to pay. But if you go to Andalucia, for example to Granada you can get free tapas if you order a beer or a tinto de verano. Lastly, we have 2 types of Churros. The thin crunchy well-known Churros and the thick and sponge Porras (I prefer Porras TBH). These two are serve with sugar if one ones. The cinnamon thing is from mexico! And we do have churros with cream or chocolate but are way expensive, one piece is about 1'5 euros. Churros and Porras can be bought in two ways; by money or by ration. You can order 2euros of churros which is the minimum amount sold and you will get about 6-7 churros (in a churros store put on a paper). You can also order half ration or one ration of churros and you will get about 3-4 churros (that's in churros cafeterias)

Another pro tip: If you are visiting the north coast, don't miss the cider. It's pretty popular up there. Spanish cider tastes different (and much better) than the chemical apple juice crap they sell in other european countries. It is a very good option for those that are not much into beer. Sadly keep in mind that it won't be very available if you are not in the north. The best places are "sidrerías" (cider houses). They also have very hich quality rustic food there.
@HookahBurdar

Well, cider in Northern Spain, particularly in Asturias and the Basque Country, is certainly good and different from what you get in other countries, but believe me, artisan crafted cider in Normandy or Brittany is also excellent and good cider will be good in the UK and in the US. Just do not compare canned stuff to good crafted stuff from say Asturias, the same as you do not compare Sidra El Gaitero with the real stuff, not to speak about modern Spanish canned cider related beverages. Having travelled a lot and also lived abroad for quite some years I can say there is quality, well crafted cider in many places. My sister lives in Concarneau, a formerly fishing village in the south of the tip of Brittany, and my favourite cider is the local crafted one! Just saying!

Respecto a la paella, hacer una auténtica paella es una obra de arte que es muy laboriosa. Dado el volumen de paella que consumen los turistas sería imposible hacer una paella tradicional sin tomar algunos 'short cuts.' Principalmente, en muchos sitios el sofrito se hace en gran cantidad para tenerlo a la mano, y el caldo se deja hirviendo para poder cocer el arroz en él cada vez que se pide. Descongelar una paella previamente hecha ya es pasarse pero no dudo de que ocurra en lugares donde el plato se sirve a grado de mayoreo.

I love churros, but I can definitely not eat that much sugar and dough so early in the day. I would feel sluggish for the rest of the day. I know Spanish people have them as breakfast, but I prefer them as a dessert. Also going anywhere in Spain to me, personally, means having sangria. I don't care if it's the right region or not 😂 I think sharing these tips is great, but also we shouldn't be so strict on how someone eats their food and enjoys their time/holiday. Being a tourist or moving to a new country doesn't equal changing how you should do everything or what you like.

Siempre habrá superficiales que intenten adaptar la realidad a su escasa mollera, pero al margen de la paella o el arroz 'a banda', la cuestión más espinosa que se nos plantea a los valencianos es escoger entre una paella o un arroz al horno. Es un plato eclipsado por la paella y todas las declinaciones de arroces, en el cual entran en juego las particularidades de cada comarca y donde sí tiene cabida el embutido y el cerdo.

La PAELLA real, que es la de Valencia tiene unos ingredientes determinados, donde no se incluyen ni el pescado, ni los guisantes ni otras cosas, lo que pasa es que durante años otras provincias de España han decidido cambiar los ingredientes y seguir llamándolo paella, pero es arroz con cosas. No paella. Para paella hay que ir a Valencia y pedir que te hagan una traidicional. Love your videos anyway!

People, especially Americans, fail to understand chilis came from the New World. Indigenous people in the Americas cultivated many types of chilis still eaten today in Mexico. The first Spaniards to arrive in Mexico were not used to eating spicy hot food. They were accustomed to a bland diet like other Europeans. While today's modern Spanish dishes may have use tomatoes as an ingredient, they are not originally from Spain. Tomatoes also come from the New World as do avocados and many types of peppers.

La paella es un plato levantino, de Valencia para arriba... algo Cataluña... require Medieterráneo, presión atmosférica a la altura del mar, sol, mediodía y familia o amigos. Es un plato festivo y familiar. Por supuesto servido inmediato y hecho conforme a las reglas del arte/ciencia, pues cocinar una paella bien hecha es tanto arte como técnica casi científica. O se domina el proceso con exactitud matemática, o no sale. Paellas en la Meseta, en el Cantábrico... pues como barcelonés no me pega (aunque sé que algunas las hacen bien lo mismo que puedo decir que el arroz en casa, porque para encontrar una paella buena fuera de casa... es igualmente difícil) En la meseta y más allá de los dosciento o trescientos metros, por la falta de presión atmosférica empiezan toda una serie de problemas que hacen que el arroz y la paella en concreto jamás pueda salir bien (salvo toda una serie de trucos y correcciones que se notan o cocinar en una cámara hiperbárica!) En fin, cuando veo a los turistas comiéndose esas bazofias que pretenden ser paellas me siento realmente mal pues me pregunto que qué idea se llevarán de un plato que bien ejecutado es MAGISTRAL.

una cosa es paella valenciana, y otra cosa es que te la hagan en valencia. Paella valenciana la puede comer en cualquier lado, yo soy de zaragoza y comemos eso algunos domingos. Es como si dices que vaya a comer pulpo a la gallega a galicia, o fabada asturiana a asturias, como si no se hiciera mejor en otro lado XD Come borraja, y es igual si la comes aqui que en tu casa

I live in USA and you are totally wrong about sangria . I tell you why . In Spain is normal that locals don't look for sangria in bars or restaurants , only because we make our own sangria in our home , better that in the bars , but locals also asked for sangria , not to often , but they do it and more in summer . I went with friends from this country to Spain , and we have one sangria lover in our group and every where we went he asked for one could be in Barcelona . Valencia , Granada , Sevilla or Madrid , he always asked for one and he always got one , and he loved all of them . I make my own sangria almost every time we have visitors in my house and they love it , of course using spanish wine , the few I can find in this country , with the fruit and let it rest for a period of time ,( like a week ) that is a lot better that way .

Why not pairing paella with a sangria? :) Too tourist-ish? I know one place in Barcelona, been there a couple of times, they serve awesome set paella, sangria and salad.

james, they don't have freshly cooked paella because you need like 2 hours to do a proper paella, and in the restaurant business unless you have reservations for a dish like that, you only serve it one day a week and publicise it well, or it will go to the trash making you lose money and time. Also, seafood paella is not pure paella. Another tip: we buy valencian rice everywhere in spain, it's not a weird delicacy. You can find good paella places anywhere in spain. And you can pair paella with anything, really. Also wrong with churros, we like them with sugar, you can ask for sugar if they don't serve them to you with it. And there's a variation of churro called porra, with pastisserie cream or chocolate inside.

Well, some Valencians will say that good paella can only be had in Valencia. But there are excellent paellas (and other rice dishes) to be had all over Spain.
