Lately it seems that Spanish food is just Paella or Tapas. That is really not it. Spain has a long traditional of seasonality and regional cuisine. So the combination of the two makes an infinite variety of dishes and recipes. The Spanish only eat what is typical that season in that location. There is a clear difference between what restaurants serve in Summertime and wintertime. You can´t get gazpacho in December nor can you get an Estofado stew in August.
Spanish tapas, raciones, montaditos and pinchos are often confused however they are not the same. Andalusia is really the home of Spanish tapas. The North is home to Pintxos and the best seafood too. The centre of Spain is famous for its roast meat dishes, locations such as Toledo, Valladolid or Zamora. Typical Catalan dishes are Calçots with romanesco sauce and crema catalana. Biscuits called carquiñolis are also served with a sweet dessert wine in this region too.
Valencia and Levante are home of the Paella. As the region has it´s own rice fields around the Ebro river delta the locals would use this to create rice dishes with seafood, fish, rabbit, snails, vegetables and whatever they had to hand.
