Cultural insight (Comida al aire libre) edit
Throughout the Spanish-speaking world vendors and food stands make it clear: outdoor eating is very popular among the people. From tamales in Mexico to churros in Spain to fresh fruit anywhere eating outdoors is a favorite. Some dishes are also served with main dishes, such as rice and beans. Eating outdoors is popular among locals because the food is cheap, delicious, and usually prepared faster than at restaurants.
