Spanish cuisine (Spain, live)

[Gentoo]

This was mentioned in another thread. What exactly is "Spanish cuisine"? Is it easy or hard to define?

Tortilla de patata: omelette with egg and potatoes.
Paella: yellow rice with seafood, meat or whatever you like.
Gazpacho.
Salmorejo.
Lechal.

Nothing like the Mexican ones. More like an omelette/strata/quiche.

Paella and tapas...the ham in Granada was so tasty.

Once while I was on my way to Madrid I had trout stuffed with bacon ... It was very tasty.

Tortilla is made of Sliced Potatoes, eggs and choice of onions or chorizo or mushrooms.
You fry a lot of slices of potatoes, then add the eggs , then your choice of onions, chorizo etc. and cover the pan with plate until the eggs get dry and flip the pan with the plate to cook the other side. It is shaped like a pie and about 1 inch thick.
