When I was a kid, we lived in Spain. I loved Mexican food and was expecting something similar there.

We stayed in a hotel for a few weeks when we first moved there before finding a place to live. The hotel dining room served "tortillas" it said on the menu.

What I got was an egg omelet. I learned that Mexican food is Mexican, not Spanish.

But the food in Spain is great. I love the country.

Having spent time in both Mexico and Colombia, SA, I can tell you that ‘Mexican Food’ isn’t Mexican either.

In Madrid, I ate an octopus sandwich. It was actually very good.

Spain is someplace I would like to fully explore - Extremadora, Coruna,Toledo and all the coastal cities.
