[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who said food in Spain is good? LOL.

Maybe gastro places in basque, but not the country on whole. You can only have the same five meals so many times. [/quote]

Ignore this ignorant poster.[/quote]

No need to be rude, b.

I spent two months traveling around Spain for work. Aside from Basque, where is all of this good food in Spain? A few good dishes no doubt, but it's very monotonous. Not really where I'd go for "good food".

Sorry buddy, you have bad luck and/or chose poorly if you could not find good food in Spain but the Basque region. If you are going back anytime soon, I'll give you a few suggestions.

There's good food everywhere, including Madrid and Barcelona.  Barcelona has amazing seafood and paella.  You can get jamon everywhere and that's delicious.  When in Madrid, I stayed at an apartment close to this market, which is a foodie paradise:

Watch this Anthony Bourdain special:

"According to Tony, outside of Asia, Spain is the single greatest place for culinary achievement in the world."

I have friends in the restaurant industry, and they're all raving about San Sebastian. I've never been, but my understanding is that it has a lot of avant garde restaurants.  So if you're a jaded traveler, you'd probably want to check this place out.[/quote]
