In Spain, eating isn’t just a meal — it’s a social event, and tapas are at the heart of it. These small plates range from classics like patatas bravas to regional specialties like Galician octopus.

Legend has it that King Alfonso X ordered taverns to serve food with drinks, leading to the creation of tapas (meaning “cover” in Spanish, as they were used to cover glasses). Today, hopping between tapas bars with friends is a must-try experience in cities like Seville and Madrid.

Buen provecho!
