All manner of seafood, including anchovies, sardines and shellfish, steeped in pale green olive oil.
3. Smoked

You’ll find sliced smoked ham everywhere, along with the local sausage, sobrasada .
4. With Mayonnaise

A big favourite is patatas bravas , fried potato cubes with mayonnaise and spicy red sauce. Another is aïoli, a pungent, but delicious, mix of garlic and mayonnaise.

The signature bread snack is a crust of baguette with olive oil and maybe other toppings.
