Ah, Andalusian food! Andalusia's sumptuous cuisine takes you to gourmet heaven. The best way to eat this is al fresco, which allows you to not only take in the rich tastes of the food but also to watch the flurry of people going about their lives.
Be sure to order the traditional Spanish offerings – paella, salmorejo (cold vegetable soup), rabo de toro (bull’s tail), cordero a la moruna (lamb) and many other local dishes.
