Gazpacho is a traditional Spanish cold soup with a rich history dating back to the Andalusian region. Believed to have originated from ancient Roman and Arab influences, it evolved into the refreshing dish we know today. Renowned chefs like José Andrés have popularized gazpacho globally, while iconic restaurants in Seville and Cordoba serve authentic versions. The best gazpacho requires ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and bread, blended to perfection. Variations include watermelon or strawberry gazpacho, offering a sweet twist. For the finest gazpacho experience, visit Andalusia or savor it at renowned Spanish eateries worldwide.
