Wines and gastronomy
Wine and gastronomic tourism, emerging in the early 20th century and rapidly developing, have become arguably the most popular types of tourism in recent years. And it's not surprising, as it is through tasting locally grown products that one can fully immerse themselves in the essence of the region, and isn't that the main goal of any tourist trip? In this sense, Spain is a "virgin land," offering its guests a wide range of gastronomic delights and a huge number of vineyards and wineries in almost all autonomous regions.
Spaniards, being a conservative people, deeply respect their customs, traditions, and national cuisine. That is why one can truly experience Spain only through acquainting themselves with the local gastronomy, well complemented by exquisite wines.
