Contrary to the common belief, Spanish cuisine is far from being healthy as outlined in other posts (and despite what Spaniards think!), especially here in the south where most of the food is fried, fat and/or overcooked eliminating this way any nutrients left.

It's a matter of history, culture and traditions. In a place where the dominating "culture" is that of the gipsies, you can't expect healthy and fine cuisine.

To eat real Mediterranean cuisine, two main choices: Italian and Greek. I would also add the Lebanese that I tried in few occasions, really a good and healthy one!
