[Europe][Spain] Food & Gastronomy in Spain vol. 1: General observations and tips

It's been more than 9 months since I first landed in Barcelona Airport and I have been living in Spain predominantly since then. Here are some tips and observations in the eyes of a foreigner: 1. 5 meals a day! 2. Restaurant opening hours: lunch and dinner start at around 1-2pm and 8-8:30pm respectively 3. Latte: order "cafe con leche" or "cafe latte"; one might end up getting a cup of warm milk if ordering "latte" 4. Olives: it is common to be offered a plate of olives in restaurants 5. Many great places for food of different price ranges: from the food market, the tapas bar, the "casa" restaurants, to Michelin star restaurants 6. Tapas! (to be covered in next post) 7. Many good local wine and reasonably priced. I recommend trying out different cava, red wine (e.g. tempranillo), white wine (e.g. verdejo), fortified wine (e.g. sherry), etc. 8. Some renowned food in Spain include iberian pork, olive oil, churros, paella, jamón, etc.
