Get inspired and plan your next trip with Fodor’s ebook travel guide to Spain (including Madrid, Toledo, Galicia and Asturias, Bilbao and the Basque Country, the Pyrenees, Barcelona, Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Andalusia, and Costa del Sol).Intelligent Planning: Discover all of the essential, up-to-date travel insights you expect in a Fodor’s guide, including Fodor’s Choice dining and lodging, top experiences and attractions, and detailed planning advice. Easy Navigation for E-Readers: Whether you’re reading this ebook from start to finish or jumping from chapter to chapter as you develop your itinerary, Fodor’s makes it easy to find the information you need with a single touch. In addition to a traditional main table of contents for the ebook, each chapter opens with its own table of contents, making it easy to browse. Full-Color Photos and Maps: It’s hard not to fall in love with Spain as you flip through a vivid full-color photo album. Explore the layout of city centers and popular neighborhoods with easy-to-read full-color maps. Plus get an overview of Spanish geography with the convenient atlas at the end of the ebook. What’s Covered? Get to Know Spain: Madrid’s boundless energy makes sights and sounds larger than life. The city's museums comprise one of the world's greatest repositories of Western art, the cafés in the Plaza Mayor and wine bars in Cava Baja buzz, and nightlife stretches into the wee hours around Plaza Santa Ana. Sunday’s crowded flea market in El Rasto is thick with overpriced oddities. From Madrid there are several important excursions, notably Toledo, as well as Segovia and Salamanca. The Basque region is a country within a country, proud of its language and culture as well as its coastline along the Bay of Biscay. Cut by some 23 deep north-south valleys on the Spanish side alone, the Pyrenees has a wealth of areas to explore and a dozen highland cultures and languages to match. The bewitching provinces of Galicia and Asturias lie in Spain’s northwest. These rugged Atlantic regions are a corner of Spain so remote it was once called finis terrae (the end of the earth). Galicia is famous for Santiago de Compostela and Asturias for its verdant hills, sandy beaches, and massive Picos de Europa mountain range. A cultural connection with France and the rest of Europe define Catalonia. Valencia’s signature dish, paella, fortifies visitors touring the city’s medieval masterpieces and exuberant modern architecture. The Costa Blanca has party-‘til-dawn resort towns as well as small villages where time seems suspended in the last century. The Rambla, in the heart of the Barcelona, is packed day and night with strollers, artists, street entertainers, vendors, and vamps. The city's startling architectural landmarks include Antoni Gaudí’s sinuous Casa Milà and unique Sagrada Familia church. The Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Majorca, Minorca, and Formentera) offer something for everyone. From a summer playground for all-night clubbers in Ibiza and pristine rugged mountain beauty in Majorca to pastoral Formentera and serene Minorca. Highlights of the eight provinces of Andalusia, include the haunting Mezquita of Córdoba, Granada’s romantic Alhambra, and seductive Seville. The Costa del Sol and Costa del Almeria are especially seductive to northern Europeans eager for a break from the cold, and vast holiday resorts sprawl along much of the coast. Note: This ebook edition is adapted from Fodor’s Spain 2011 but differs in some content. Additionally, the ebook edition includes photographs and maps that will appear on black-and-white devices but are optimized for devices that support full-color images Author: Fodor's Kindle Edition: 864 pages Kindle eBook Company: Fodor's (2012-03-20) (2012-03-20) List Price: $12.99 Amazon Price: Amazon.com Books: Spain travel

• How did the show come about? Charlie and I have been talking about doing something together for a while and we both love spain intensely. Gwyneth came in as we were closing in on production skeds and it just worked out perfectly. • How is this more than a cooking show? It is more about travel and the fun we had along the way than any traditional dump and stir. Some shows we do not even cook, although we always eat. • What did you enjoy most about this project? Hanging in Spain with the cooks and winemakers as well as Gwyneth, who is a great eater and lover of culture. The day to day making of tv was simple and relaxed and every night we had a nice dinner and stayed in nice places. It was kind of like a little vacation that happened to be made into a tv show. • How does Spanish cooking differ from Italian? Your heritage is Italian but you have spent time in Spain. Do you try to incorporate both styles for certain recipes? Both styles of food love olive oil and seasonal produce. Spain has its rice dishes and Italy has pasta. We use all of the Spanish influence at Casa Mono and the rest of my joints are Italian. • What were some of the differences between each region? It is all based on the intensity of the sun, as it is in the rest of the world. In the south there are sweeter fruits and more intensely flavored dishes, often fried.... in the north things are cooked longer and slower and the flavors are often more complex but also muted. • For Americans who consider themselves familiar with Spanish cuisine, what would surprise them about food in Spain? The incredible regional variation is always a surprise for Americans travelling anywhere who had previously considered a national cuisine to exist. • What surprised you about food in Spain? I think the shellfish and killer wine of Galicia was the most surprising. I simply had not experienced that corner as much as the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. • If someone goes to Spain, is there one “must try” food? JAMON, CROQUETAS AND FIDEOS • Do you have any future shows planned for different countries? We are working on an Italian show idea and a South American one, too. • In the show, Gwyneth Paltrow mentioned the possibilities of writing a cookbook. Do you have any plans of future projects with her? She is in the middle of her first cookbook right now and we are always planning something together - probably the Italy show is our next collaboration that the public will hear about. • What are you doing now? I am working on the Mario Batali Foundation which is intended to raise awareness of and money for children’s hunger relief, literacy and children’s disease research to help guarantee that each child is well fed, well read and well cared for. Children are the future and need the opportunity to thrive so that they are prepared for the challenges we are developing for them thru our mistakes now. Map of Spain…on the Road Again (courtesy of Quentin Bacon) Exclusive Recipe from Spain…on the Road Again (courtesy of www.spainontheroadagain.com) Gypsy Potage (Serves 6) Two 14-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, peeled 1/2 large Spanish onion, cut into small dice Scant 1 cup tomato puree 2 tablespoons sweet pimentón (Spanish smoked paprika) Pinch of saffron threads 1 pound baby spinach 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 1/2 pounds skin-on, boneless bacalao (salt cod), soaked in water for 3 days (change the water twice a day) 5 cups water Put the chickpeas into a large heavy pot, add 2 cups cold water, and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until they are just beginning to color. Add 1 garlic clove to the chickpeas, and reserve the other. Add the onions to the skillet and cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato puree and pimentón and cook for about 5 minutes, until the tomato puree is slightly reduced. Add the onion mixture to the chickpeas (add a bit of the chickpea liquid to the skillet to help get all the onion and tomato mixture—don't waste a bit!), then add the saffron. Add the spinach, stirring until it wilts. Using a mortar and pestle, mash the reserved garlic clove, the parsley, and cumin to a paste. Add the paste to the soup, along with the bacalao, breaking it into large pieces. Add the remaining 3 cups water, bring to a rolling boil and cook for 10 minutes. Taste for salt and add it if necessary, then turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
