A big part of Spanish cuisine is seafood, particularly shellfish, dishes include al mejas al pil pil, which contains clams. Spain dishes also contain many types of cheese, which is why you see in the grocery store "Spanish blend." There are over 150 different Spanish produced cheeses, which explains why the cheese is so happy, because its gouda brie a good day. That joke was pretty cheesy but what isn't cheesy is how good pisto is. Pisto is made of tomatoes, onions, eggplant or courgettes, green and red peppers, and olive oil. Pisto is typically served before the main course, as a starter. Not to mention the iconic churro, my favorite dessert in the world. Churros are fried dough covered in delicious cinnamon sugar.

A famous Spanish dance is flamenco. typically done to up beat music, flamenco is a spontaneous yet fantastic dance. Jota is also a fun, upbeat dance where people hold their hands up and click castanets, a type of wooden percussion instrument, to the song of a guitar. Also using castanets, Fandango is a dance where 2 people would partner up and dance together to the sound of castanets, guitars, and tambourines. Fandango and flamenco may seem similar, but fandango is a specific type of dance, whereas flamenco is dance incorporating many different genres of dance into one.

What I find interesting about spain

1301244547 — 2024-09-27 21:26:27 UTC

I find it really interesting that spain has such a famous waterpark. I wouldn't have been my first guess that spain of all countries would be so big on waterparks. I also find it really cool that spain has so much cheese. 150 diffent types of cheeses is absolutley absurd. I'm also very interested by spains architecture. I am a big fan of architecture and seeing such intricate patterns and designs is just mesmorizing.
