Salamanca October 09 Newsletter
This Monday the latest Spanish Students staying with us in Salamanca got the chance to go and enjoy some of the best local tapas! The Tapas Tour is a trip we run every week as part of our cultural program, and offers the students the chance to get to know each other and the city a bit better, whilst trying some of the best local food!
On the trip we normally go via some of the best bars in Salamanca, including: The Cuatro Gatos (The 4 Cats) on the Rúa Mayor, Delicatessen, Doctrinos, where they serve the best jamón! and Mater Asturias, an Asturian Cider bar serving typical Asturian Cider and delicious food. Some other bars include Bambú, a bar next to the square serving loads of different tapas and rations of delicious meat cooked on the grill, amongst other things.
Spanish Students enjoying Tapas in Mater Asturias
In Salamanca some of the best local foods are the famous Jamón, the best type coming from near to Salamanca itself! and the delicious Tortilla Española. The Tortilla is made up of fried potatoes and eggs and is sometimes filled with different things. Some of the most typical are ham and cheese, or vegetables – more often than not including tuna and salad.
Another typical food of the region is Farinato. A Spanish type of Haggis! It’s meat and bread with herbs, onion and seasoning inside either a real or synthetic stomach lining, and can normally be found in the shape of a sausage! It normally comes served fried with a fried egg.
This week the Spanish Students currently staying with us in Salamanca enjoyed the Tapas Tour and here you can see a photo of them enjoying some pinchos, tapas in the Mater Asturias bar, right next to the Plaza Mayor. There are loads of photos on Facebook of other Tapas tours that we’ve done in the past so that you can see what we get up to! There’s also posts on our blog telling you more about the Tapas tours!
The city of Granada
The restaurant Damasqueros won the competition with a tapas of chickpeas, and the landlord received his body weight in extra virgin olive oil and a jamón! There were all sorts of different types of food on offer, including vegetables, savoury pastries, tapas elaborated with wine and croquettes.The judges based their decision on different aspects of the event; presentation, taste, ingredients from Granada, the quality of service and general feel of the establishment.
On the Tapas Tour!
Every week Mester Spanish Language Courses in Granada offers to all of its students a Tapas tour of the city to try some of the best tapas available. Tapas are a big part of Spanish culture and you can taste some of the best food in Tapas bars! The students always have loads of fun and it’s a nice activity to get to try some new food and get to know the other students, whether you come alone or in a group program.
The teachers show you the best places to go for food across Granada, and not only that but the school offers cookery classes too as part of the cultural programme to show you how to make some of the Tapas that you try on the Granada Tapas Tour!
Cookery Class - Tapas de Jamón
The cookery classes take place in the school and are 2€ per person, you can take a look at the latest Granada school newsletter or ask at reception to find out when the next cookery class is and what you’ll be making!
As part of our cultural program every week we take a trip to some of the various bars and cafés in the town in which you are studying, where you’ll have a chance to sample some of the most delicious food on offer. This is usually typical to the region and tapas reflect the traditions of each area of Spain.
Tapas are a huge Spanish custom and a big part of the social life. They are small snack foods served with coffee, refreshments, beer or wine in the bars and cafés. It’s a great trip for getting to know some of the new students each week and sampling the local food.
