Ingredient appreciation — what makes Gazpacho special

What sets Gazpacho apart is the handling of smoked paprika. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the rich with olive oil result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the tapas tradition developed as small accompaniments to drinks. The a siesta-hour lunch restaurant atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Estrella Damm beer as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Gazpacho is the place to start.
