  • Go to Galicia - Follow the Way of St James
    Spain is a country that as has been described on a great many occasions is actually more than just the sum of its constituent parts.As a country that still has great inter regional “differences of opinion” - euphemism here for cultural differences and in some cases acts of terrorism, Spain still has a tremendous amount to offer.
  • Galicias Position Within Modern Day Spain
    The quite long and seemingly complicated process that modern day Spain has had to go through to get to where it is today has left it with a very affluent and varied heritage .

    As you travel around the country you can see glimpses of a past affluent in the heritage of former conquerors be they the Moors, medieval Spaniards themselves or parts of the country that have Jewish and other international flavours.
  • Galician Flat pies with a Tuna Filling
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as English food, German food but when you consider Spanish food or if you wish to be a bit more accurate about how you look at it, food and recipes that originate from Spain there is a very convincing argument that would say it's not that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.

  • Following the Way of St James
    Spain deserves respect, a respect that has been earned through the history and evolution that the country has gone through and for being a country that is much more than just the sum of the collective parts.

    The legacy left behind by previous invaders and conquerors such as the Moors, medieval Spaniards themselves or Jewish and other international communities is affluent and varied.

  • Fall In Love With Northern Spain
    It is one of the oldest stories known to man. The idea or concept that you travel to a particular place or destination on holiday either as a child or later on in life as an adult and fall in love with the place. So much so that you feel this almost umbilical bond with the place that you feel you just have to buy a property there and settle for the rest of your life.

  • Chilled Asparagus Soup with a Warm Poached Egg
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The Political and historical make up of Spain with the unification of its particular regions and collective cultural identities make it perfectly reasonable and logical to argue that there is no such thing really as overall Spanish cooking. There has been a slow and steady amalgamation of the autonomous regions that collectively make up modern day Spain and all have kept their own individual identities in such a way that potentially preclude any “culinary amalgamation” between them.

    It is usually possible whenever you stopped to research information about different countries cultures queasiness and general background for you to come off with a common theme or a common name that would relate to that country's cuisine. Such as Indian Food, Chinese Food but when you refer to Spain or to put it possibly more accurately food and recipes that originate from the Country of Spain it is not that straightforward.

    The relatively recent unification of Spain as a single political entity is really the main driving force that lies behind this theory as the country is an amalgamation of the various autonomous regions that lie within it.
