It is <strong>the world\u2019s biggest producer of olive oil<\/strong>, with a large percentage of olives grown in Ja\u00e9n and Extremadura in the south of Spain. You can find both artisanal and mainstream brands of oil at small shops and supermarkets for both cooking and simply dipping in freshly baked bread. Don\u2019t forget to pour a generous portion on your bread at breakfast time as you enjoy pan con tomate with a caf\u00e9 con leche \u2013 available in most caf\u00e9s and a true taste of what the locals eat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/olive-oil.jpg\" alt=\"Olive oil\" class=\"wp-image-19365\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain is, of course, synonymous with red wine and white wine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/blog\/the-best-wine-lovers-experience-in-la-rioja\/\">Famous Spanish wine regions include La Rioja<\/a>, Ribera del Duero, La Mancha and Rias Baixas in Galicia.
