It is said that King Alfonso X, el Sabio or "the Wise One, " made sure that Castilian taverns served wine accompanied by something to eat, so that the wine would not go straight to the clients' heads. Out of this decree, Tapas were born.
Tapas have become an important part of the gastronomic scene in Spain. Tapa is the Spanish word for lid and it is thought to describe the old custom of serving a slice of ham covering the mouth of a wineglass. In doing so, the wine was protected from the air and the ham or other titbits made a tasty appetizer.
In Salamanca some of the best local foods are the famous Jamón, the best type coming from near to Salamanca itself! and the delicious Tortilla Española. Some of the most typical are ham and cheese, or vegetables - more often than not including tuna and salad.
Another typical food of the region is Farinato. A Spanish type of Haggis! |
