Spaniards drive for miles to sample the succulent seafood of Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda and to enjoy fino (a dry and light sherry from Jerez) and Manzanilla (a dry and delicate Sanlúcar sherry with a hint of saltiness).

Look for Spain's top dining delicacy jamon ibérico de bellota (Ibérico acorn-fed ham) on the menu. Córdoba's specialties are salmorejo (a thick version of gazpacho topped with hard-boiled egg) and rabo de toro (bull's-tail or oxtail stew).
