  I live in Sacramento and there is a great place called:

  "TAPA THE WORLD" that serves Spanish & World Cuisine.

  Check out their website for detail on the food & history.

  I've eaten there & it's great!! Good Luck!

  Ahh! Both of my grandparents are from Spain. The national dish of Spain is paella ( pronounced, pie-ay-ya). It is a fantastic dish that is pretty easy to make. Good luck!

  All the websites named above are absolute crap and nothing like authentic Spanish food (nor is paella the 'national food' outside of the region of Valencia). If you want ACTUAL Spanish food, you'll have to try either tienda.com or actual cookbooks (Penelope Casas has some decent, but not perfect, books out there). Try tortilla de patatas, empanadias de atun, croquetas de jamon, patatas bravas, pan con tomate, and arroz con pollo for a typical variety of dishes you'll find pretty much anywhere in Spain. In the Basque Country you'll also find things like bacalao a la vizcaina, which is amazing, and many other cod dishes. Fabada, from Asturias, is absolutely amazing and very common (you really want real blood sausage for it, though). Paella valenciana and arroz a la banda are pretty representative of rice and seafood dishes from the southeast. I can't really help you with Galicia. For the center, it's a lot of roasted meat - try searching for roast leg of lamb recipes. In terms of tapas and pintxos, gambas al ajillo, angulas, tortilla de patatas, whole fried sardines, anchovies in oil with salt, jamon serrano, and bocadillos de jamon, de queso, or de tortilla are pretty standard. Drinks would range from sangria for tourists to red table wine, cortados and cafe con leche, and sidra (hard cider from Asturias). Breakfasts are usually a coffee and pastries (try can~as de chocolate or just a Spanish muffin recipe).

  Above all, beware of websites and people who can't seem to figure out that Spanish food doesn't have lots of chile peppers, corn tortillas, or refried beans. Or people who think that anybody other than tourists eats paella with sangria more than once a year at most.
