I didn't know the tarta Santiago.

I also got them all right except the herbero. 

I should have known though as I lived in Mallorca and Ibiza where the local liqueur was called 'hierbas' and the language there is so similar to Catalan.

wott is hierba? in English please.

Imagine the old man your grandad used to avoid except when he needed top borrow a lawnmower, who kept an allotment and seemed to live on it.  Imagine that old man distilling his grass cuttings and the dead heads of his flowers in his potting shed, and throwing some oregano, fertiliser and weedkiller to make a really potent moonshine.  That would be pretty close to hierba    I got drunk on the stuff the first time I went out with my Tenerife colleagues.  I don't think I've ever been so sick in my life!!

Nova you've described it very well!  It's a potent drink made from distilled herbs.
