Spain's best food tours, picked city by city.

My love of food started in my grandmother's kitchen. She's Chilean, and family meant a big gathering around a long table every weekend, with food at the center of all of it. While everyone else talked, I was usually in the kitchen with her, watching her fold empanadas or layer a pastel de choclo, and asking why she did each thing the way she did.

Later I worked in restaurants and Relais & Châteaux hotels across South America and Africa, alongside chefs who built their menus around local food. That meant asado de cordero on a Patagonian estancia, boga grilled over coals by the Paraná near Iguazú, and llama with quinoa and rica-rica in the Atacama.

I've lived in Valencia for years now, and I'm still learning how Spain eats, mostly at market stalls and bar counters, over lunches that run long. This site is where I share what I find.
