The “sopeao” is a variant of gazpacho, very typical here in Sevilla (South of Spain), where people eat this as single dish on the hottest days of summer, those days above 40 ºC  (104 ºF) that neither lizards endure the sun. 

Caprese Salad

 Receta en español aquí

The Caprese salad is an Italian salad originally from the island of Capri,  although it is widespread throughout Italy, in fact I think all who have traveled to Italy have tasted it.

Italians give great importance to this salad because it combines the colors of the Italian flag. A nineteenth-century poet, Francesco Dall'Ongaro, defined these colors in this so pretty way: "White as the Alps, red like volcanoes and green as the plains of Lombardy"
