I love all of them but specially Tortilla de patatas and Gambas al ajillo. VIVA ESPAÑA! 🇪🇸 LOVE FROM BARCELONA
Love all of them
These are all very good, but as usual, the food from the North isn't mentioned and it's the best food in Spain. At the very least add 'Pulpo a la gallega' and 'Almejas en salsa verde' to those.
For the reporter, pah – Eh – yah. I don't understand why Americans hear, payeya.
Paella
screw that, meat and seafood together!!!
Spanish gastronomy is fantastic! ❤
Regards from Guadalajara, México 👋
The only mistake was serving soup with a fork…
im from valencia and DEF the snails go out in my paella
Tip number #1 from a local: never, ever, eat paella from a restaurant if you see a sign on the street with pics of paella dishes (you will see it everywhere). Those paellas are frozen, industrialised, and taste NOTHING like the real deal. Paella is also expensive and takes time to cook so if you see deals for 15/20e you know it’s not real. Any real paella will cost you easily 50+ euros, and they are never served as individual portions.
Whatever a "pie-eya" may be ..
… yes, your DW perpetuating German-made stereotypes, as always.
Valencian Paella actually has a recipe protected by its origin denomination.
A mature man having food like toddler is not good !
14 years 😂😂😂
Great food feature. The Girlfriend™and I each need to work another 5-6 years, before the chains of "earning a living" can be broken. But we've been discussing the possibility of going ex-pat and moving to Spain. In the meantime, I have some classic dishes to learn. Thanx! 👏🫀
Pallella…. Tan dificil es decir paella? Y poner las tapas como un plato…🙄
Spanish here, sorry but paella is not Spain's national dish. Something like this does not exist. Spain has an endless amount of dishes, different to each other. Saying paella is the national dish is stereotypical and non accurate. Is better to say that is well known by foreigners, who most of the times never tried the real thing. Go to Valencia, that's the only way. By the way I am not from Valencia.
One of my favorites in Spain was the navajas (razor clams).
Pa-e-lla, not Pa-lle-lla 😒
La Tortilla Espagnola y las Tapas!
Jamon Iberico! 👏🏻
Why the elephant trump music !!? 🤔 3:12
pa eee lla no pallella
caracoles en una paella?😂😂
pero que habeis cogido a los peores cocineros de españa?
Patatas bravas and grilled octopus is a must in Spain for me❤️
2:35 onion rings cooked for several hours! 😵💫
21 seconds I'll never miss.
Cada vez que dice "Payeya" se muere un gatito valenciano.😂😂😂
¡Olé! A final de este video, faltaba algo de SALMOREJO – Incluso mejor que lo tipo del gazpacho..!!!! Otra nivel sin duda…
At the end of this video you forgot some… Even better than your typical… Taken to the next level, without a doubt…
¡Olé!
Gazpacho
Naaah, Catalans and South of Spain don't know how to cook, I live in Spain, it's so limited and boring that I don't go there to Spanish restaurants anymore.
Im spanish and for me the true "national dish" is the Tortilla, maybe the Paella is the most know around the world but here is considered a regional food (from Valencia) but the tortilla feels like it doesn't belong anywhere in particular.
todo
Meh
Me tenéis hasta la p0lla con tanto tópico, la paella es de valencia y el gazpacho andaluz.. ¿con mango? venga ya y acostaos un ratico si veis que eso.
Esa versión de paella que dicen que es la paella original de valencia (yo nací en valencia) no se la come nadie fuera de valencia y eso es un hecho pero como siempre esta quien está detrás de estos separatismos pues dicen que la paella es esa cosa con caracoles.
It’s pronounced “paeja” for a German speaking person for god’s sake
In my opinion, it isn't all that great compared to other cuisines / dishes I've tasted from other countries (and I live in Spain.) Good but definitely not my go to when it comes to variety, flavors, ingredients, etc.
Here comes the hate train lmao
Acorn fed pigs, how spoiled… spoiled pigs.. 😆 🤣
The Malaga Gazpacho: no no.
Avoid tourist traps
Tapas culture is just marketing. Be careful with that.
