In reply to Manny. Thank you for the recommendation Manny! I just googled it and this does look a lot like the callos that's popular in the Philippines. Planning on spending 3 months in Spain in the not too distant future so we'll definitely look for this. :)

If you want to find Callos with Garbanzos in Spain you have to get Callos a la gallega.

In reply to Adrián. Thank you so much for the recommendations Adrián! We did go to Galicia but only to Santiago de Compostela and Lugo. We definitely want to explore more of the region and Spain in general so I'll definitely take note of your recommendations. Thanks again. :)

Really nice to see how you refer to Spanish food and that you enjoyed it so much. I do not know if you went to Galicia (even if you mention pulpo a feira), but I would totally recommend it. Some dishes from there are “zamburiñas” or “empanada”. The south is also great with the different deep fried fish, among other food. Another thing I would recommend you is to go to Segovia and try “cochinillo”, it is great. Also, since you do not mention it, I have to recommend you “carrilleras al vino tinto” (it is true that “carrilleras” does not necessarily have to be made with red wine, but it is a nice variant). If you ever go to A Coruña (Galicia) I can recommend a few really nice restaurants there 🙂

We use chickpeas for the callos in Galicia.

In reply to Randy. Happy to hear the article brought back a lot of fond memories for you Randy! Spain is wonderful. We loved all of it but Granada was our favorite city. It must have been amazing to live in Andalusia. Limon granizada sounds wonderful so I googled it. Hope you find the materials to make it!

I forgot to mention….
My favorite summer beverages are limón granizada and horchata (de chufa).
My first week living in Sevilla, it was so hot the roads melted, and so did I. I had to get up and shower every hour or so at night.
My sanity was preserved by buying a liter of limón granizada nearly every day (or an horchata).
I’ve searched for a machine like they use in the heladerías to make the granizada, but haven’t had any luck.
I did find chufa nuts on Amazon, but haven’t tried making homemade horchata, yet….

Having lived for a time in Spain (Andalucía, to be specific), your article made me both homesick and hungry 😉
I still cook Spanish food for my wife and sons, and they love it. I can never make enough tortillas….
I enjoyed your article a lot 😀
