Bar and Tapas Guide Anyone who is hungry doesn’t need any help in pointing at the dishes so temptingly displayed in Spanish bars and cafés. These tasty dishes are a vital part of the day providing quick and inexpensive snacks to accompany a cup of coffee, a glass of beer or wine. Tapas is the plural of the Spanish word for a dish with a snack, tapa. Of course, there is also plenty to drink. Some dishes and drinks are easy to identify but it’s useful to have a guide to just what’s on offer so that you can help explore the wonderful world of tapas bars. Bars and cafes are usually cheap so there is no problem in experimenting. If you think something looks good but you don’t know what it is – just try it. Tapas usually come with a basket of bread and forks and eating is a sociable affair with friends chatting and exchanging news. Not many people from Britain and northern Europe regularly visit restaurants for their evening meal. As dinner isn’t served until after many people are thinking about bed or already in it, the all-day tapas bar is probably the place that foreigners are most likely to enjoy Spanish food. On a night out, of course, things are different. Many bars have their own special tapas, or variations on standard dishes, and that is a great excuse to start exploring and eating. The following list gives the names of many tapas, together with drinks and some other useful words. Phillip Bruce
