（单词翻译）

Paella, Serrano ham, and Manchego cheese—countless tourists in Spain have fallen in love with Iberian cuisine¹. Today Conchita is preparing anchovies², tiny silver fish, which are often mistaken for sardines⁴, in an original way. She is up against stiff competition, pitting her cooking skills against 24 other women at the annual anchovy⁵ festival held in L'Escala each September. People flock from all over Spain to sample the specialties⁶ created here. Conchita is working flat out to get her meal ready on time. Those who like their food a little less salty and brighter may find what they are looking for further south along the Mediterranean⁷ coast in the Valencian agricultural town of Sueca. An alluring⁸ aroma⁹ of stewed¹⁰ rabbit, beans, rice and tomatoes fills the air as Jose Jimenez carefully slips the meat into a large, circular flat pan coated with hot olive oil. He adds a few garrofon butter beans and has soon stirred up a perfect paella. The saffron festival at Consuegra meanwhile is a celebration of all things that are from the Castilla de Mancha region of Spain. Everything revolves¹² around the purple saffron flower. Around 200 saffron flowers must be plucked to produce just one gram of the world's most expensive spice, which costs up to 1,400 euros a kilo. to fall in love with 愛上；對…著迷 to be mistaken for 誤認為；誤當成 sardine³ (n.) 沙丁魚 specialty¹³ (n.) 特產；名產 aroma (n.) 香氣；香味 circular (adj.) 圓形的；環形的 to be coated with 塗上；抹上 celebration (n.) 慶祝 to revolve¹¹ around 以…為主軸；圍繞 to pluck (v.) 採；摘
