  1. Great job.
    From my experience, we Spaniards are big fans of Gazpacho because our summer is sooooo long and hot. In other countries such as Ireland they are not very fond of Gazpacho. "Cold soup???", they say as if it's the craziest thing they've ever heard in their lives. They say it takes time to get used to the idea.
    I just love Gazpacho sooo much I could have it everyday.
