Snapshots from Valencia: A Tour of Mercado Central (Central Market)
Mercado Central (Central Market) in Valencia is Spain's largest fresh food market and one of Europe's largest and oldest running food markets, opened in 1928*. (In other words, it's a must-visit if you're in Valencia.) The cavernous building is home to over 900 food stalls selling fruit, vegetables, spices, seafood, meat, cheese, nuts, olives, cured meats, and more.Market Scene: La Boqueria in Barcelona
La Boqueria has to be one of the world's greatest markets. Located just off La Rambla, the busy pedestrian-friendly boulevard, it's a must-visit for any serious eater in Barcelona. The colorful, abundant aisles are packed with tourists and locals alike shopping for Jamón Iberico, fresh fruit, seafood, all sorts of animal parts (tongues, heads, and organs galore), eggs, fresh juices, nuts, cheese, and olives.Chips from Spain: Jamon, Barbacoa, and More Flavors
The theme of my trip to Spain: even when I wasn't trying to eat jamon, I was probably eating jamon. Oops? Another example: potato chips. While roaming the corner grocery stores of Madrid, it was fun to see all the meat-centric flavors on the chips wall. Jamon Ruffles, barbacoa Fritos and cheeseburger Lay's. There were "vegetarian" options too.This Week at Serious Eats World Headquarters

Since the start of this year's World Cup, Paul the octopus has accurately predicted the outcome of every match played by the German soccer team. He's six for six, and has become a soothsayer cephalopod phenomenon (ah, way too many syllables!) on Facebook, Twitter, and all over the internet this week. Paul says Spain will win in Sunday's final, and Germany (his home is the SeaLife Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany) will take third over Uruguay on Saturday. However, Paul better watch out—some hungry Germans might have a big vat of boiling water waiting for him.Tasting Tour: An Eating Tour of the Barcelona Boqueria
Barcelona, on the Mediterranean Coast in northeast Spain, is one of Europe's most-visited cities (fourth, after London, Paris, and Rome). And for good reason. With world-class museums, stunning architecture, a comfortable year-round climate, and a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere, what's not to love? And while Barcelona offers all of these fine qualities, for serious eaters it may just be synonymous with one thing: La Boqueria.Tour of Sandro Desii Factory in Catalonia, Spain

[Reuters] The famous La Tomatina festival, a tradition held on the last Wednesday of every August since the mid-1940s, took place today in Bunol, Spain. The epic tomato-launching battle all starts with truckloads of rotten red tomatoes and people prepared in bathing suits and goggles. Catapulting, chucking, and all forms of splattering ensues until 100 tons of tomato guts covers the small town.

[Stephen Shull from The Eaten Path] Imagine a croissant, but made with pork fat instead of butter and topped with something sweet like powdered sugar, custard, or apricots. Apparently that's what an ensaïmade is like, a common pastry found in the Spanish island of Majorca. Stephen Shull fondly describes the pastry on The Eaten Path, specifically the one from Can Joan de s’Aigo, the oldest operating café and pastry shop in Palma. That's going on my list of "Pastries to Eat Before I Die."...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
