Welcome to my first Steemit Travel Review!

Quick Q&A:

Q: What will the topic be you may ask?

A: The best place to visit in Spain. The way these reviews will be structured is based on three different categories, food, history, and beauty.

Q: Which part of Spain are we exploring?

A: The southernmost part, which lays right overseas with Africa! Places such as Cadiz and Malaga.

First we will start with the food!

Now we will be exploring some of the more local foods, while in my time here I noticed that the locals love roasted peppers and sourcing food from the farmlands in their villages. There aren't many supermarkets here that we are typically used to in the United States of America. Most food comes from farmers markets or vendors on the sides of the streets, fruit and vegetables are always found at these vendors! I recently purchased a large container of oranges for 2 EUROS! A deal that could not even begin to exist in America.

A drawback to this system is that even though there are a lot of fresh food vendors it means that usually at the end of the day you won't be able to get any fresh food unless you go to supermarkets that are few and far between. Most of the shopping is done in the morning!

The best food was in the tourist city restaurants, here is an image of a dish I had at a small restaurant called El Paniz in Ronda! It was grilled chicken that was made on an open face grill in front of me. Not only was it delicious but it was also extremely fresh, the grill taste was absorbed by the chicken giving it an additional flavor that's almost indescribable.

It was a delicious and overall I'll give this meal a high rating and recommendation. Although there are a lot of drawbacks with having a small amount of supermarkets I believe that the delicious restaurant food that locally sources it's fruits and vegetables makes up for it. Food: 4/5

The Second Category is History.

Southern Spain is rich with history, especially due to the fights for territories that took place here. The rock of Gibraltar being one of the most famous places that is in southern Spain. Currently controlled by the U.K. it's a place that requires you to have a passport to get in. Gibraltar is a peninsula that is essentially a giant mountain, rich with history it's still populated by monkeys and has been the battleground of Spain, England, and Africa. Here is an image of the Gibraltar from the airport, along with some of the monkeys on the island.

This isn't the only historic place in southern Spain many small villages line the coast and I've taken images of those as well. These beach towns are commonly settled by resorts or locals who partake in the fishing and culinary careers. Overall the history of Spain is extremely intriguing and for the history category I will give it a 4/5. History 4/5

The Last Category is Beauty.

While this is a subjective category I believe that I'll allow the images speak for themselves.

Beauty 5/5

Overall 4.5/5
