Wow, I just love Spanish dishes, they are nice, different and combine a lot of different ingredients, I really like paella but I think that is a very common dish and looking at these exotic recipes I feel like trying new things, so let?s see.. I?m going to start by preparing the recipe with salmon, easy and I actually love fish, especially salmon, it?s very healthy by the way

Oh I just love Spanish cuisine! Thanks so much for writing this article and posting these wonderful looking recipes!! I used to be very interested in learning as much as I could about Spanish culture, so one night I made a bunch of Tapas for some friends and we had a wonderful time. Maybe we’ll relive Spanish night!
