Start with drinking
Mosto - A kind of grape juice that is very sweet, absoloutly lovely with plenty of ice and a slice of lemon, very popular in bars with people of all ages.
Vino tinto - One thing I have never heard anyone complain is the quality of the wine, if its from La Rioja or locally produced here in Castilla y León (mostly from Valladolid).
Kalimotxo (Calimocho) - Student drink consisting of lots of ice, red wine and coke, sounds horrible but it's not.
Eating
Sortido de Ibéricos - Surely one of the best things ever invented?? Plate filled with Spanish ham, 'lomo' which I dont know how to describe in English, but its like pork but not thick pork or pork chops, chorizo - a bit like spanish pepporoni and salchichón a bit like salami, usually eaten in bars with lots of bread and people just dig in, perfect party food.
Morcilla - Think of black pudding/haggis with rice and there you go.
Well all this talk of food is making me hungry so I will finish it off another time
