Whenever we think about traveling to another country, we think about getting to know four important things: its landscapes, its people, its language, and its cultural traditions such as music and gastronomy. For this, we usually search the internet for forums or blogs where different typical dishes of the country or region are recommended in order to have an excellent experience.
