Somehow the food in Spain is better. Its hard to put into words as they are both in their own ways delicious.
Spanish food is more rustic. Its chunky (in flavour, not texture). Its has less finesse, but more flavour. Its utterly fantastic.
For those of you that aren't in the know, eating pintxos (the same as Tapas but come from the Basque region of Spain) is achieved in this manner.
1. Walk into a bar, and help yourself to whatever is on the counter. You will see many plates of glorious little bites. They range from 1 euro to 4 euros each.
2. Get yourself a beer and have another pintxos.
3. Continue until full or drunk or invariably both.
4. Tell the man behind the counter how many pintxos you had and pay. Thats right - you tell him, he doesn't tell you.
5. Move onto the next pintxos bar (unless too full or drunk).
Fantastic, glorious, wonderful
Ole!
