Spanish cuisine can differ greatly across the regions, however, seafood plays a vital role in the diet of many Spaniards. Throughout Spanish history, many cultures played a large role in the influence of the dishes still served today; from the Moors to various foods brought from the explorations of the Americas.

Tomatoes, fish, chicken, beef, potatoes, rice, beans, peppers, onions, pork, and olives can be found as the ingredients in many dishes. A few types of food from Spain that are rapidly spreading throughout the world are tapas, paella, and tortillas.

Tortillas in Spain are not to be confused with the flat breads of Mexico and other Latin American countries. Spanish tortillas are egg omelettes that for the most part contain potatoes, onions, and chorizo (sausage).

Paella is a hearty rice dish made with chicken and/or seafood along with saffron, onions, peppers, and sometimes peas.
