Holiday Apartments & Home Rentals in Spain

From the cities to country retreats, no matter where you decide to stay in Spain, the food is an unequivocal delight. The most famous dish is Paella, a dish made with seafood and rice. Though delicious all over Spain, the closer you are to the coast, the fresher the dish will be. The Spanish omelette, known as tortilla, is another menu must, though the term omelette drastically underrates the dish. Made with eggs, onion and potato, the dish is cooked until firm and served in slices; more akin to what we would consider a quiche.

Food is comparatively cheap in Spain, and the wine is even cheaper. So whether you choose to dine out or cook in your holiday villa in Spain, food should be a memorable and inexpensive part of your adventure.
