Spain is renowned for its delicious cuisine. The beautiful flavours of olives, tomatoes and fish and of course citrus fruits is hard to recreate outside of the country. However, if you use Flavouring Manufacturers such as Stringer Flavour for flavour enhancers, you might get close to the real thing.
One difference between Spain and here in the UK in terms of food is the time that they eat their meals. The cuisine focuses very heavily on a variety of fish and crustaceans, roasted vegetables and olive oil, as it is a Mediterranean nation. There is a great focus on suckling pigs in the centre of the country around Castile. This is not an exclusively popular thread. In fact, for an entire suckling pig that has been roasted in a clay kiln to be served and broken up using plates, it is considered to be a great delicacy.
The Spanish clock is based on the longitude of the European Central Time, making the time in Madrid the same as in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, about 1,500,50 miles to the East.
The Spanish Civil War was a microcosm of the ideological struggle of Europe, as well as a sign of what the Second World War would be like. Mechanized war and the overt assault and participation of civilians after the aerial bombing of the village of Guernica were involved. The dispute was between the unpopular but better trained Fascist right wingers and the mainstream Socialist/Communist left. The victory went to the Fascists and General Franco, their leader, agreed to put Spanish time in line with Nazi Germany, which had been a major supporter of the new regime.
