Welcome to the Food and Fiesta Newsletter!!
If you are the kind of person who is hungry for adventure and thirsty for knowledge, I've got some exciting news to share with you.
Before you click ‘Delete’ and go on with your day, let me tell you about the amazing Food and Fiestas Newsletter - a weekly bulletin for aficionad@s of formidable food and fantabulous fiestas.
The Food and Fiesta Newsletter is a tantalizing journey through Spain's world-famous and lesser-known culinary wonders and festive celebrations.
Why would I want to subscribe to yet another newsletter?
You may well ask. Because life can be a cycle of rinse and repeat and it’s important to remind ourselves of just how amazing and creative humanity can be.
Each week, Food and Fiesta will be serving up a pleasurable platter of mouth-watering content, including:
Festivals, Fairs and Food Events and Their Origins.
Delve into wild, colourful fiestas, historic harvest celebrations and scrumptious food fairs. Discover the motives behind the tomato-flinging madness of La Tomatina and the heart-pounding drama of Running with the Bulls, without the tomato stains and risk of being gored to death and trampled.
The Best Wines, Sherries, Beers, Vermouths, Liqueurs Around the Country.
Of course, exploring Spain’s most iconic foods must include mentioning the acclaimed alcoholic (and the occasional non-alcoholic) drinks and how they’re made. Impress your dinner guests with an (arguably) perfect pairing of food and wine, beer, sherry and liqueur.
A Featured Recipe of the Week.
A foodie newsletter would not be complete without a weekly recipe to experience the authentic fresh flavours of Spanish cuisine. From an impeccable potato omelette and gazpacho to crunchy fried desserts and tantalising tea party tapas, the simple, yet delicious, recipes will keep you coming back for more.
Podcasts with Foodies and Other Experts on Spanish Culture.
Food and Fiesta will be offering (in the not-too-distant-future) regular podcasts with people willing to share their own experiences and knowledge of Spanish cuisine, culture and specific fiestas.
Easy Access to Community Chats and Related Sites.
Prepare to join a vibrant community of fellow Spain enthusiasts. Discuss your own experiences, swap recipes, and connect with like-minded folks who share your passion for Spanish cuisine and fiestas.

Spain's vibrant and diverse food culture has evolved from of a kaleidoscope of cultural traditions. The Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors all brought something to the table. Combined with a strong Catholic heritage, Spanish food is not just sustenance, but a way of life.
Long, leisurely meals are shared with loved ones and lively conversations take place over tapas in bustling markets and bars. Each dish tells a story and invites you to be part of the culinary tapestry that is Spain.
It’s no surprise then that food plays an important part in the annual and seasonal fiestas throughout the country. To fully appreciate these regional and national celebrations, it’s essential to understand their origins and influences.
Spaniards are not known for doing things by halves, and nowhere is that better displayed than in their vibrant, energetic and colourful festivals that celebrate their history, culture and spiritual traditions.
Join us as we immerse ourselves in our culinary quest and electric energy of the food and fiestas of Spain!
