Alright, guys—just being honest here as an American: this is 100% a real perspective. I’ll start by saying I don’t eat seafood, and I get that automatically puts me at a disadvantage when it comes to judging Spanish cuisine, since seafood is such a huge part of it. But even when it comes to the non-seafood staples like jamón, tortilla, and paella… they just don’t really hit for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good tortilla—especially fresh and warm—but when my mother-in-law serves it every third day, it starts to feel more routine than special. I think that’s part of the cultural difference: in the U.S., there’s a real emphasis on variety. One night it’s Thai takeout, the next night tacos, then maybe Italian or Korean BBQ. There’s this constant rotation that’s baked into our idea of a satisfying food experience.

I’m from America, have never had traditional Spanish cuisine, please give me some foods/recipes to make at home so that I can get an understanding for what Spanish cuisine is.

Portuguese food > Spanish food. But this is a whole discussion you are not ready for. Spain probably wins in bocadillos. Other than that, master race gastronomy prize to Portugal.

I lived in Spain for 18 months. I loved Spanish food BUT I never had a paella I liked. Tried 3 or 4 different times in different cities but it was always pretty meh to me
