What Sets the Tapas Experience Apart?

Tapas are a Spanish tradition and generally consist of a light snack or appetizer served with drinks during lunch or in the early evening before the main meal. Tapas can be plain, as in thinly sliced hams and cheeses paired with wine, or complex, like the highly spiced Moorish dishes often found in the south of Spain. The options available are dependent on the diner’s choice, and imagination of the chef, but all are meant to be shared with good friends or family over conversation for a communal dining experience.
