Yo como legumbre, which we eat a lot in Spain. And lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, which we eat a lot here, you know. Fish more than meat, because meat I eat very little. Pescado mucho, marisco, así mejillones, gambas. It is a little bit of a fish. And a little sweet, now we're going to eat something to snack, sweet.

Salads, greens from, well, now that winter is here, from calabacín, calabaza. I don't usually eat much meat, but not for nothing, but because I don't like much. Speaking of Spanish cuisine, is there any characteristic that identifies you as a sola? Or depends on the region? I think it depends more on the region, for example, paella. El arroz, although for example is typical Valencian la paella, But here you can also find paella in Catalonia. And here you can also find rice made in different forms. Even depending on the area of Catalonia where you go, It'll also be cooked with fish, more hot, less hot. Could you tell me a typical dish of Spain, del país? Well, typical can be the Valencian paella. The cochinillo in Segovia, the truchas in Burgos and Navarre. For example, the cold soup of Andalusia, el gazpacho, etc. Would you say there is no typical dish of the country? The most famous is the typical paella, but for me there are others. Each autonomia has its plates. And some of the typical dishes, the best in the region of Catalonia, what would they be? Here we have, for example, a very typical thing that comes is the bread with tomato and sausage. Pan with tomato and ham. And could you tell me some typical dishes of Spain? I'll tell you a typical Catalan one. Spinach with pasta and piñones. Do you think there are dishes, say, typical of Spain or that depend more on the region in which you are? Well, there are some that are quite typical in all of Spain, like paella. Although in some places, Tarragona, Catalonia, is a little different than Valencia. But the base is the same, paella. And then in Spain there are many cocidos, the typical is the cocido madrileño, But then each region of Spain has more typical cooking. In Catalonia we have the escudella, in Andalucía also have an andaluz cocido, In Asturias they have fabada, which is a kind of cocido, in Galicia too. There are some things in common, though after all each region has a variant. Could you tell me some typical dishes of Spain? Spain or Catalonia? What do you see? Do you think it's going to be this way? For example, I think there would be a little more bread with tomatoes, The judías with the Catalan butyfarra. What typical dish do you like best? I like a lot of paella, I like like like guisan el marisco in Galicia, Then el gazpacho I like much y son plates quite representative for my taste.
