With the rampant growth of the Indian tourism industry, many
people are beginning to look abroad when planning their summer holidays. Yet choosing a specific
destination from a world of options can prove a difficult task. One
way to simplify the process is to boil down one's expectations to
their simplest form and decide what is truly the most important
part of the trip. For those travelers who are seeking a uniquely
beautiful culinary scene, Madrid, Spain, may be the ultimate
destination.
According to the New York Times, Madrid has emerged as one of the
premier cities for foods of all kinds. The city, which is often
associated with the traditional Spanish novelties known as tapas,
is home to a vibrant collection of nationalities bringing about
some of the finest flavors from Asian, South American and
continental European cuisine.
"Right now no other European city except London offers the same
range and diversity of international cuisine," Victor de la Serna,
an editor and food writer for the newspaper El Mundo, told the
Times. "Plus here you have ‘New World’ restaurants serving gourmet
Peruvian or down-home New Orleans that would be inconceivable in
Paris."
Restaurants of note include the traditional Spanish eatery Diverxo,
the Asian-Latin fusion of Sudestada and the Japanese stylings of
the 99 Sushi Bar.
