What is the culinary capital of Spain?
While many cities vie for this title, San Sebastián in the Basque Country is widely considered Spain’s culinary capital. With more Michelin stars per capita than almost any city in the world and a thriving pintxos culture, it represents the pinnacle of Spanish gastronomy. However, Barcelona and Madrid also claim significant culinary importance, each offering unique contributions to Spain’s gastronomic landscape.

What dish is Spain most known for?
Paella is perhaps Spain’s most internationally recognized dish, particularly the traditional Valencian version with rabbit, chicken, and local vegetables. However, Spain’s culinary identity extends far beyond this iconic rice dish to include gazpacho, jamón ibérico, tortilla española, and countless regional specialties. Spanish cuisine is also famous for its tapas culture, where small, flavor-packed dishes create an entire way of dining and socializing.
