Spanish and Catalonian kitchen
Spanish and Catalonian kitchens are very close to each other. Traditional recipes include ingredients from the land and the sea, often combined in one dish. Mar i Muntanya, translated as the Sea and the Mountain, is a true classic dish of the Catalonian kitchen.
Tapas at its simplest form consists of a piece of bread or olives. Many of the traditional tapas courses come from Andalucia, and when the wave of Andalucians migrated to Catalonia in search of labor, they brought their traditional recipes from their region. You'll find tapas, or tapes in Catalan, restaurants everywhere in Barcelona.
