Andalucia is the largest region of Spain and has a food tradition that is rich in shades from the past, but now a fascinating revival is taking place, supported by the array of amazing ingredients from land and sea, by memories and aromas from the past and by current innovation by Spanish chefs. La Cocina Andalucia has become even more attractive, improved without losing any of its character and taste.
