Codfish, Cabrales and Cacao: A Spanish Culinary Tour

This is the way to enjoy Galician barnacles: take hold, twist and withdraw the edible portion, not much bigger than your thumbnail. Spaniards consume more seafood than anyone else, barring the Japanese.

Spain also produces more than one hundred varieties of cheese and dozens of varieties of olive oil! Discover these and other taste treats like on a culinary walking tour of Madrid’s markets and gourmet food stockists, not to mention the tapas bars where outsiders rarely venture.

These images were taken with Nikon D200 (10 mpx) using RAW format, excepting Barcelona and Valencia on 35mm E6 transparency. All are available for licensing.

Hi Philip,

We had an associate of ours send us the link to this article. My name is Jennifer Galvin and I wanted to say we love the article and the fact that you mention Carlos. We were hoping that you might send us a short one or two line on how you liked the tour that Carlos gave you with a mention of Letango Tours. Our website is www.letango.com It is a new site and we are anxious to fill it with lots of information.

Again, thank you, we love the artcile.

Jennifer Galvin
