apas are delicious Spanish finger food found in many varieties all over in Spain. To savor these finger-licking tapas, drop by any famous bar or café in Barcelona. Spaniards love eating tapas with their friends in a crowded bar to celebrate and enjoy a fun night together. It is also eaten between meals so that people don’t lose their energy due to hunger.
Tapas could be a Spanish potato omelet or a yummy chuck of tuna or even pickles, pepper and onion skewered on a toothpick! There are many tales about tapas’ origin. Some people claim that this food was served due to King Alfonso X, el Sabio meaning the wise one. The king had decreed that Castilian taverns should serve small snacks with wine so that the wine doesn’t go straight to any traveler’s head.
Another story claims that when King Alfonso visited a town in the southern part of Cadiz, he stopped by an inn to quench his thirst. The King ordered a glass of sherry; the inn keeper served the glass covered with a slice of ham because it was windy day and he didn’t wanted his Majesty’s glass to get dirty. However the king loved the wine with the ham so he even ordered a second wine to especially be accompanied by the ham.
Whatever the real origin of tapas maybe, it has now become an integral part of Spanish culture. In Barcelona you will be able to enjoy tapas like the pan con tomate, chipirones, anchoas, russian salad and Patatas Bravas. These dishes are usually accompanied by drinks like vermouth or cava. Don’t order red wine with your tapas dish because the strong taste of wine will overload your taste buds. You can enjoy tapas with cider or chilled light white wine.
The local bars are usually crowded so don’t be surprised if you end up devouring your tapas standing. Since tapas are meant to be eaten as snacks, they are served in small quantity. You can order it in large quantity by ordering Raciones instead. It will be the same dish but served in larger quantity.
I recommend to Go Tapas in Barcelona Barrio Gótico , el “Paseo del Born” is a typical nice route for tourists because is plenty of bars and restaurants, value for money. This district is also one of the nicest and centric to get accommodation, you can check BarcelonaPoint.com offer of apartments in the area.
Going to a foreign country and not indulging in its cuisine or culture is a shame so be sure to visit the local bar or café and taste your first tapas. If you are a connoisseur of food then you should visit bars and cafés especially famous for serving delicious tapas!
