Coca

Like a Spanish pizza, without the cheese, that can be made with sweet or savory toppings

Coca is like a Spanish interpretation of pizza, without the cheese. As is the case with pizza, there are many different options to choose from for toppings. Made on a base of flatbread, common coca garnishings include mixed veggies, fish and even fruit with meats. One popular variety, the coca de trampó (pictured above), is topped with a Mallorcan vegetable medley. In addition to savory coca, you can also find them with sweet toppings. As if you didn’t already have enough choices, you can even find stuffed coques, similar to empanadas, or should we call them Spanish calzones
