Tapas is essentially a style of eating rather than a form of cooking. It means sociability, friends and family, people of a like mind, talking and drinking in a relaxed atmosphere, while nibbling away on little bites of intense flavour.

You can keep it simple, or make it as complicated as you like, but whichever way you prefer it, tapas is best served with a drink, among friends and lively company. These 'little dishes' will give you a tasty mouthful of Spain, So sit back, take your time and enjoy your tapas to the full. There is no better way to sample the real essence of Spanish life and culture.
