The SPAIN FOOD & DRINK GUIDE is much more than just a dictionary, with a series of mini-articles (totalling 22,000 words) providing readable and informed backgrounders on FOOD REGIONS, FESTIVALS, FOOD CULTURE, TAPAS, PRODUCTS and DRINKS.
The app explains all the main food and wine classification systems and introduces many lesser known aspects of a culinary tradition that’s so much more than tapas, jamón, sangría and paella!
