The Spanish Eating Out Guide
Below you will see our extensive ‘eating out’ guide. This is simply a rough guide as to which meal choices are to be avoided, savoured, or indulged in. We have concentrated on starters, mains and side dishes. This is because if you are choosing to have 2 courses, you should choose starter and main, rather than dessert. Sides can also be helpful in bulking out a main course with extra veggies and salad.
Spanish food can be quite potato laden, so instead of filling up on the stodge, indulge in things such as prawns, cured meat, fresh fish and delicious tomato and pepper sauces.
