dishes are empanadas, corn pies, and
corn cakes, but perhaps our most
delicious is seafood.

South Africa South Africa is
triple blessed. A long and varied

astonishing amount and variety of
seafood; our fertile soils and wonderful
climate work together to produce an
enormous range of agricultural products.
Our seafood is legendary, and is best
sampled at one of the West Coast's open
air restaurants. But nothing can beat a
good wine from the Cape - a notable
wine-growing region for over 300 years.

Spain Wine
Country
One of Spain’s greatest
attractions is, without a shadow of
doubt, its cuisine, which is one of the
best in the world for both quality and
variety. Accurately speaking, one cannot
talk of a national cuisine but rather of
a multiplicity of regional cuisines
influenced in each case by the climate
and local way of life.
