What makes a Spanish dinner special? Wine from La Rioja, or a good Valdepeñas. How about a good Xerez as an appetizer? Do I hear “Marisco� or Gulas del Norte? Gazpacho, now there's a great refreshing entree. Paella from Valencia, squid or octopus from Galitia, and let's not forget a good Madrid Stew (cocido).

“Let's stop by VIP's for a quick drink before we go!� "Sounds great. Let me stop by the bank first, because I have to exchange some money..." "I think they're closed." "No, that can't be, it's only three o'clock in the afternoon..."
