Fair Food -

There's so much of it - all over the world - that it would be impossible to write about it..... yet, if I recall correctly, similar works have been written (street food, which is essentially the same thing).

Funnel Cakes!

REGIONAL STREET FESTIVAL FOOD IN SPAIN:

1) Churros: fritters ( fried dough ) served dipped in chocolate

2) Fresh Pork Sausages: grilled assorted sausages

3) Ice Cold Spanish Beer, Mahou is the common beverage

4) Depending on where the Festival is, as Spain is very steeped in tradition and rituals, and most of these Street Festivals, are paying homage to a specific Saint; thus the traditional place; for example, in Valencia, Paella prepared over open fires is commonplace. HARVEST CELEBRATIONS, are the other type of Street festivals, held where the crops have been harvested; GRAPES for example, in the 75 Designation of Origins.

5) In the capital, Madrid where we live; locally grown Green Asaparragos sautéed in Evoo with sea salt is a common Spring time treat.

6) It is very common, in Galicia, to serve fresh seafood stews and in the Interiors, meat & bean stews.

The cakes and sweets are profoundly steeped in local products and traditions and vary greatly from 1 región to another.

7) COCAS: a Roman based rectangular Pizza without cheese; topped with harvested vegetables varying from región to región, in Cataluyna and the Balearic Islands for example.

TAPAS, of all varieties are the most popular, and the " traditional " fare offered, usually free to all and / or low cost, via each stand.

One can also find, PINCHOS MORUÑOS, A KEBAB Served on a Stick however, commonly prepared with Pork verses lamb or beef.
