MADRID—Spain’s rescue service and the crew of a yacht rescued 14 people off the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca on Monday while three other people were missing, the government said after it had originally said two people were dead. Those rescued appeared to be African migrants and were travelling on a rickety boat, said a…
Clams in Saffron–White Wine Sauce With Garlic Bread
There is something festive and celebratory about a pot of clams. To me, it is always a treat, evoking summer memories of blissful coastal feasts, languid lunches, and good times. It must be the fact that we need to eat them with our fingers, and mopping up the juices with bread is actually encouraged. Based…

Cold Summer Soups From Spain
Soup and hot summer weather never seemed like a good combo to me—until I met gazpacho, of course. Throw in the sudden onslaught of tomatoes from a typical summer garden and it almost becomes an imperative. Gazpacho actually appears in texts dating back to Greece and Rome. Claims for the origin of the word itself…
Traditional Gazpacho
“I have chosen to give the more traditional version here,” says María Llamas, owner and manager of Alambique cooking school in Madrid, “but recipes can always be adjusted to taste.” “Some regions, such as Extremadura, use pimentón de la Vera [a particular Spanish smoked paprika] in its spicy or sweet version, instead of cumin. Some…
Ajo Blanco

One must first peel the papery skin off the almonds, something a good blanching followed by a chilled bath makes possible. Serves 6 8 ounces stale bread, without crusts 8 ounces blanched Spanish (Marcona) almonds 2 to 4 garlic cloves 1 cup extra…
Carrot Gazpacho
A trend in Spanish cuisine is the transformation of old recipes into new ones by using unexpected ingredients. This carrot gazpacho is precisely that—made using a base of pureed carrots and freshly squeezed orange juice, seasoned as you would a classic Andalusian gazpacho with olive oil, vinegar, and a little garlic. These few, simple ingredients…

MADRID—More than 100 African men used grapples and threw stones at police as they tried to scale a high border fence and enter a tiny Spanish territory in North Africa in the middle of the night, authorities said Wednesday.

Berenjenas Fritas con Miel (Fried Eggplant With Orange Blossom Honey)
You won’t be able to stop eating these deep-fried eggplant strips. The combination of crisp outsides and tender, creamy insides makes this classic Spanish tapa totally irresistible. I like cutting the eggplant, skin and all, into 4-inch sticks, but it’s just as delicious if you slice it into rounds. It just depends on how and…
