There are even Tapas competitions in Spain, where towns and regions
compete to be the makers of THE best recipe.
Today, Tapas are rarely free, but they are well worth the cost. You
will find Tapas everywhere in Spain, but mainly in Tapas bars.
Tapas Bars
Tapas bars,
to all intents and purposes, are the extended living room of the Spanish
people.
They are places to eat, relax, meet friends, watch a soccer game, have
a quiet drink, catch up on the town gossip.
You can get some Spanish Tapas Recipes on my Spanish
Tapas Recipes page, along with a photograph of a Modern Spanish
Tapas Bar in the Old Town of Barcelona that I visited in 2004
