Flavors of Spain
Enjoy Spain’s culinary traditions and delicious wine on this cultural travel
program.
Spain’s gastronomy is a patchwork of rich flavors, influenced by the region’s
varied culinary traditions and heritage. In the countryside, Roman and Arab engineering
irrigates a land of Phoenician vineyards, Jewish sweets, and Arab spices. From
ancient wineries to modern cooking schools and famed restaurants we'll explore
Spain’s dynamic regional cuisines – its variety, history, and worldwide commerce.
In the “cocina,” we’ll enjoy flavors in Spain’s famous homes: Madrid's melting
pot of wood roasted meats, cocido Madrileño, and wonderful tapas; La Rioja’s renowned
red wines, piquillo peppers, and white asparagus; and Bilbao's Basque cuisine,
considered one of the best international cuisines where seafood is the star ingredient.
