It’s the question many travelers wonder about before heading out on an international vacation getaway – what is the food like where I am going?
Usually, to get the answer, they have the turn to friends, family and fellow travelers to find out what the food is like in the destination they are traveling to.
However, in country experimentation is also one of the fun things about traveling, especially in Spain. That’s how my wife and I recently stumbled on the pumpkin jam pie Pastel Cordobés in the old Spanish town of Córdoba.

No. 4 – Rosquillas de Santa Clara
Should a sweet dessert actually make the list of the most disliked foods in Spain by tourists? Rosquillas de Santa Clara are essentially sugar glazed doughnuts associated with Madrid and its patron saint, San Isidor.
