Spanish Food & Drink

With nearly 2000 kilometers of coastline, Spain is renowned for its fresh seafood and it is said that the best fisherman’s wharf in the country is in Madrid, in the dead center of the Iberian peninsula.  Pristine fish and shellfish arriving at Mediterranean and Atlantic ports are whisked overnight to satisfy the Spanish capital’s boundless hunger for seafood.  Close to Isla Canela, Isla Cristina is a busy port, famed for its fresh and preserved fish and one of the most important in Andalusia. The main problem with food and wine in Spain is possibly their very abundance.
