Spanish cuisine  consists of the cooking traditions and practices from  Spain.  Olive oil  (of which Spain is
the world's largest producer) is heavily used in the Spanish cuisine,[1]  and it is the base of many
vegetable sauces.  Hallmark herbs include  parsley,  oregano,  rosemary  and  thyme.[3]  The use
of  garlic  has been noted as "common to all Spanish cooking”. Most common meats
include  chicken,  pork,  lamb  and  veal. Fish and seafood are also consumed on a regular basis.

on-the-edge character". en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki › Spanish. Web results Spanish cuisine – Wikipedia

the municipalities it absorbed into the area now known as the Community of Madrid.
