1. Where in Spain are you from, and how long did you live there?

I´m from Barcelona and I lived there all my life!!! *0 years!! .   OMG! I feel so old!!! Don’t publish this please!!! (I didn't! lol) Hahaha!!!

 

2. What is your favorite city in Spain and why?

Barcelona of course!! I not only love Barcelona because I’m from there but also because is a city that has all what I love!!  Beach, mountains, very walkable, amazing food, and a good place to have fun!

 

3. Where do you recommend travelers visit in Spain?

Spain is a country composed by 17 different regions called autonomous communities and all of them have amazing places to visit, but if I had to recommend 3 or 4 places I would say:

1.       Barcelona, but is a must to visit small villages in the Costa Brava like Cadaques.

2.       Madrid

3.       Basque Country, specially Bilbao and San Sebastián.

4.       Sevilla

I think that visiting these cities you can get a good taste of what is Spain.

 

4. What food do you recommend travelers eat in Spain?

Every region has amazing food, but the most typical foods in these places are:

-          Barcelona: pa amb tomaquet with jamón ibérico, seafood, and paella.

-          Madrid: bocadillo de calamares, morcilla de arroz, tortilla de patatas, etc.

-          Basque Country: pinchos, marmitako (fish), and I love the idiazábal cheese!

-          Sevilla: pescadito frito (fried fish), gazpacho, tapas, etc.

 

5. If you describe Spain with 5 adjectives, what would they be?

Beautiful

Friendly

Fun

Historical

Tasty (because of the food! Hahaha!!!)

 

6. Could you teach me a beautiful Spanish saying from your country?

We have hundreds of sayings but maybe…

En casa del herrero, cuchara de palo   =   In the blacksmith´s house, a wooden spoon

I have no idea what that means, but it IS a beautiful saying. lol. Now I want to go to Spain even more! Thank you for your time, Lara. ;)
