- Gazpacho: Without doubt it is one of the most typical dishes of summer. The gazpacho in a dish that in summer is usually replaced by the salad. A cold dish with a lot of properties that feels very good because of the high temperatures. If you have some time you can do it yourself at home, but you can find fresh gazpachos of great quality and at a good price in all supermarkets. It is also a very light dish.
- Escalivada: Another cold and very healthy dish. Roasted onion, pepper and aubergine, peeled and filleted. Bathed in plenty of extra virgin olive oil. I love to drink at all hours. On toast and with tuna or bonito from the north.
- Salmorejo: Unlike Gazpacho, salmorejo is a cold soup, mainly tomato, which is accompanied with grated egg and chopped serrano ham. Another cold soup that is appreciated at any time of the day and that is a sign of the gastronomy of Andalusia.
- Melón with Serrano ham: As it could not be otherwise, Serrano ham is a dish that can not be missed in this list. Serrano ham is cut into thin slices and wrapped in pieces of melon. A cold and delicious dish. An ideal appetizer.
- Galician octopus: Galician Gastronomy has a privileged place on our list. Galician octopus is a cold and juicy dish that is highly prized by many. A tapa or usual aperitif on the Spanish terraces during the summer months
- Spanish omelette: The tortilla de patatas is a dish that is taken throughout the year. In summer, it is common to eat it cold and with the egg more curdled. A skewer of potato omelette or a good sandwich are the most popular ways to eat this dish in summer.
- Chicken broth: Yes, you read well. Chicken Soup. In summer it is very important to hydrate and consume the properties of the chicken. An ideal dish for children who spend so many hours under the sun.
- Paella Valencian: Without doubt the Spanish food most demanded by tourists and locals. A dish that can be enjoyed in all parts of Spain, both well and poorly executed. Because as Valencians well know, paella there is only one.
