OK, this first one is not exactly Spain, it's my lobster medallion served by the very gracious and gorgeous MAS flight attendants.
Churros with hot chocolate so thick it's a meal in itself.....leaving our tummies warm and happy.

Blood sausage sandwich
Mushrooms swimming in a very green, very beautiful if not surreal herb-flecked olive oil..part of a tapas spread in the highly recommended Cafe along La Rambla.
Seafood paella - not my favourite thing (well with our 20 types of Malaysian nasi goreng, it's a hard sell), but a must-try in Spain regardless.
One of the most interesting things we kampung boy and girl did was tour the Boqueria, or market. Here's a live seafood stall, with the lobsters and crabs still writhing and wiggling about.
Salt cod, a Spanish staple

Jamon, or spanish hams and everything that can be had from a pig..
Fresh fruits and mushrooms..notice they even had mangosteens and rambutans..for a handsome Euro, of course.
Dried figs, fat dates, dried apricots and plump olives.
Candied chestnuts (or marrons glaces), and the like... I didn't know that in addition to ginger, pineapple, apples, apricots, that we could candy kiwis as well..pretty little green pinwheels admist the pink, yellow and oranges.
Small punnets of fresh fruit you can buy and devour there and then..we bought a punnet of cherries and and readily seeded pomengranates. Cherries were ok - slightly bitter but the pomengranates seeds were everything they should be and more - sweet and juicy.
AK's dream come true, so many kinds of mushrooms..with fresh chestnuts, autumn's bounty.

And mine, handmade chocolates...
Nothing like deep fried flour and thick hot chocolate for breakfast...
