The food in Spain has been constantly changing having different things happen to it during the years. It all depended on who was living in the spanish country. For example when Arabs lived there they brought oranges and olive trees. The Moors influenced the dishes that were seasoned with cumin. Every soup had cumin and herbs to season and give it a very good taste.

Paella is a famous dish that has been around for many years and tourists as well as locals love to eat this dish. It started in Valencia with the people that had no money.
