Green Spain: Cantabria
October 23, 2008
Overview
Exploring the fertile peaks, fields and valleys of Cantabria, the area known as Green Spain, José creates a unique tapa pairing Cantabria’s most prized product—anchovies—with a surprising ingredient: nectarines. José returns to Cantabria to follow the anchovy trail and see how the locals eat the–then heads to the thriving capital city of Santander and the beautiful town of Santillana del Mar, to explore ancient cave paintings. After quick stops to a great bakery, a great restaurant, and a great cable car ride, it’s back to Washington D.C. to create a super steak with Cantabria’s creamy blue Picón cheese.
