🍷 Food & Drink in Spain
Half the joy of a Spanish holiday happens at the table, and the events calendar knows it. Across the costas you'll find tapas routes where bars compete for the best bite, gastro weeks celebrating local specialities, seafood festivals in the fishing ports, and grape-harvest fiestas where whole towns turn out to tread the new wine. They're a delicious, low-key way to eat like a local and meet one too. Here's what's on for food and drink while you're here.
