Traditional Christmas Recipes of Spain

Travellers in Spain are often surprised to see that every village has its own culinary specialities. What a contrast this is to the standardised food of Northern Europe, where, even at Christmas time, few local dishes exist in our rather monochrome "Westernised" gastronomy.



Spain has largely avoided this food "industrialisation" and is still proud of its local dishes. It remains a treasure trove of food diversity with Roman, Arab, Jewish and Christian influences on many of its recipes. Spain is blessed with a pride in its traditional dishes, combined with a variety of ingredients that many chefs only dream about.



Christmas is a special time and few people in the world are as capable of making it into a truly special occasion as the Spanish. They have a love and understanding for both good food and a good party! Christmas in Spain is fun and a truly culinary delight.



Here we present you with just some traditional Spanish Christmas Recipes. Enjoy them and Feliz Navidad!
