A lot of people don’t realize that Spain is actually made up of over 20 regions, each with its own history, cuisine, and sometimes even languages! So when you go to Spain, you might not find the typical sangria in local bars, and if you do, it’s probably a tourist trap. Instead, go for these drinks when you’re in a specific region of Spain.

Andalucia

This southern region of Spain is famous for cities like Seville and Malaga, old ideas of entertainment like bullfighting, and the invention of the flamenco dance. But this all happens in a very hot climate, which is why a lot of people think that sangria was actually invented here! So if you do visit Andalucia in the summer, you should definitely try the sangria. 

Galicia

Galicia is a region on the border with Portugal and has some of the best wine in the country. Albarino is one of the most famous and delicious and comes in both red and white varieties, so everyone can be happy!

Catalonia 

Though gin and tonics are actually really popular all around Spain, getting one in Catalonia is an excellent decision. There are some really fabulous bars dedicated just to gin, and even standard ones will whip up a delicious g&t.
