Spanish food is known for its healthy benefits and fresh ingredients. Dishes  contain  seafood, a lot of vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, pepper) and olive oil which is very popular because it is cheap and healthy.

A lot of  different culinary traditions  have influence on Spanich cuisine:

Mexican tradition - potatoes and pepper,

Arabic tradition -  rice turmeric and some dessertes with sweetmeats,

English tradition - gin,

French tradition - cream and cakes 

I think that most people know paella or gazpacho. They are typical Spanish dishes. I want to write something more about them.

Main dishes:

Paella - a rice dish.  Ingredients depends on types. There are three types of this dish: 

Valencian paella (in Spanish paella valenciana) - white rice, green vegetables, meat and beans,

Seafood paella (in Spanish paella de mariscos) - white rice snailas, seafood and vegetables,

Mixed paella (in Spanish paella mixta) - white rice too and everything what you want to eat,

Tortilla -  flatbread (bread made from flour, water and salt) with fried  meat and vegetables like onions tomatoes and pepper,

Gazpacho - a cold Spanish tomato with raw vegetable soup, popular in the  Andalucia Region. It is usually served with bread.

Appetizers:

Churros - fried sweet cakes. There are two types of churros in Spain. One is thin and another long and thick (especially popular in Madrid). They are both  eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate or served with coffe.

Flan - a creamy  dessert with a soft carmel on top. It is  similar to pudding in England.

Arroz con lechce -  a sweet rice dessert flavored with cinnamon and raisins. It's baked in an oven but served as a cold dish.


In Spain people eat tapas. They are snacks eaten in bars and between meals. It can be a sandwich with boiled sausage (serranito), potatoes fried in vegetable fat (patatas bravas) and  cheese or ham prepared in different ways. 

Drinks:

Sangria - a drink which consists of red wine, chopped or sliced fruit (often orange, lemon, apple or  peach), sugar, a small amount of added brandy. 

What is worth seeing in Spain

In Spain there is something  for fans of monuments, fans of museums,sports fans and fans of entertainment. Everyone can find an activity for themselves. I`m going to present only a small part of this meaningful place. If you are a true tourist, you should visit them. 

Madrid-Is the largest city and  the capital of Spain.
Madrid is one of the most artistic burgh in Europe. You can find there one of the top European art museums.There is also Museo del Prado, Museo Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen.When you are in Madrid you should go to Circulo de Bellas Artes, Teatro Espanola and Gran Via.
You ought to see famous and less famous (but also very interesting) monuments like:
Royal Palace of Madrid
Monument to Alfonso XII at the Parque del Retiro
Metrópolis Building
The Almudena Cathedral
Puerta de Europa
Puerta de Alcalá
Plaza de Espana
Palacio de Comunicaciones (Office of the Mayor)
Palace Hotel
Temple of Debod
Plaza de Colón
Beside that Madrid has got the largest Plaza de Torros (bullring) in  Spain, people can run away from bulls.
Madrid is notable for its nightlife and night clubs. At the weekends, Madrilenian youth is famous for dancing all nights.
So, as you can see in Madrid you can do almost everything!
 
Barcelona I think it's the second well known city in Spain after Madrid. It is located on the Mediterranean coast and has a Mediterranean climate.
Barcelona contains 68 municipal parks, divided into historic parks, thematic (botanical) parks, urban parks and forest parks.
In Barcelona  there are buildings which come from different centuries. Especially remarkable is the work of architect Antoni Gaudi, which can be seen throughout the city. His best known work is the immense but still unfinished church of the Sagrada Familia, which has been under construction since 1882, and is still financed by private donations.
If you are a fan of football you absolutely must visit Camp Nou. It's a 5 star stadium and host of international matches, opposite the sports field there is the ice rink used for icy sports. In a commercial zone of Barcelona there is a complex of shops like L'Illa, Diagonal Mar, La Maquinista and skyscrapers called Hotel Arts and its twin the Torre Mapfre
 
Camino de Santiago (Way of Santo James)- is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in the northwestern Spain, where  remains of Saint James Apostole are buried. Apart from treatment this way as a peregrination you can  take a trip on bicycles or treat this as gripping challenge.
 
Lloret The Mar- one of the most important resorts on the Costa Brava.It is located on the Mediterranean coast.Aside from this there are Santa Clotilde gardens: Gardens designed in an Italian Renaissance style by Nicolau Rubió i Tuduri. Situated on the  top of a cliff offering impressive views over the sea. Also there is Maritime Museum, Monument of the Fisherman`s Wife (symbol of Lloret The Mar)  and Church of Sant Roma.
