Perhaps Spain's most renowned national dish is paella, a slow-cooked dish of rice, vegetables and meat or seafood that's produced with different ingredients throughout the country. Tapas is a can't-miss aspect of Spanish dining, whether for a quick mid-day bite or an evening tapas crawl, which allows you to sample several establishments' signature tapa in the course of an evening. Spain is also renowned for its Rioja wine region as well as its excellent sherry.
