Gastronomic tourism in Spain | Food Service Magazine

Gastronomic tourism in our country is once again one of the most important values ​​for international travelers.

Spain has the two cities best valued by GoEuro in the culinary section, as well as other destinations that are more than interesting for the palate. In total, nine Spanish cities appear valued.

It is a reality that Spain has always been among the best places in the world when it comes to sitting at the table. Now, after the new GoEuro study on getaways for 2017, the prestige of our country can go a little further.

And it is that the two most visited cities in our country, Barcelona and Madrid, are also the best valued by the search engine in terms of gastronomy refers to one of the five sections that have been emphasized.

Both take the highest grade, a 5. It is clear that the universal elements of the national cuisine such as the potato omelette, the tapas or the sangria play a very important role here, but also other local claims such as the calamari sandwich or the Pa Amb Tomàquet.

To give us an idea of ​​the ancestry of Barcelona and Madrid in this sense, they have passed in front of Paris (4,9), Rome (4,9), London (4,8), Istanbul (4,6) or Berlin (4,6).

Gastronomic tourism in Valencia Vs traditional southern cuisine

The capital of the Turia is the next Spanish city in gastronomic importance. For GoEuro it reaps a score of 2,6. But beyond numbers, it is worth staying with the charms of a land that, in addition to offering us paella and all the rice varieties available and to be had (baked rice, rice soup, arroz a banda, …), is ideal to eat good and cheap.

Hanging out on a terrace enjoying some good tapas, especially with the arrival of good weather, is something that Valencia will always make very easy for us.

Seville begins the shortlist of Andalusian cities reviewed in this ranking. The city of Seville, which boasts Easter as one of the highlights of 2017, is valued with a 2,2.

Two other urban centers in Andalusia are not far behind, such as Malaga (1,9) and Granada (1,8), which complete a map of tapas and fun that few can match.

Delights like the fried fish or drinks like chamomile they can be enjoyed not only in festive seasons, but throughout the year.

A charm that does not end

There are many corners of the country that can delight us, but GoEuro stays with San Sebastián (1,3), Bilbao (1,3) and Salamanca (1,1).

The fame of those in the Basque Country is well known, which are always accompanied by a drink of beer or txakolí.

For its part, the Castilian city is always a guarantee of good food, especially if we emphasize Iberian products such as sausages or roast suckling pig.
