The traditional version is with tomatoes which are the main ingredient and peppers, cucumbers, onion and stale bread. There are although many versions, such as gazpacho where the main ingredient is cucumber, cherry, watermelon etc
Gazpacho is typical of the south of Spain, more specifically Andalucía but you’ll find it all over the country.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS WITH PICTURES
