TAPAS
RECIPES
Tapas
are a true celebration of the Spanish culture and social
way of life for which the Spanish are famous. Tapas are
in effect bite sized morsels of food served with a drink
in the bar and the Andalucian region of Granada is the only
place where tapas are still complimentary.
The
word 'tapa' means cover and this is one of the historical
explanations of their origin, when bar or tavern owners
used to place a small piece of bread over their patrons
glass to keep the flies out.
Nowadays
however, the tapa represents the warmth and openness of
the social Spanish lifestyle - there is nothing quite like
a drink and a chat with some friends and some delicious
tiny nibbles to enhance the experience.
Whatever the true history behind the tapa it remains a social
delight and has evolved from being the simplest slice of
bread to becoming delicious mini versions of the best Spanish
cuisine with a world wide reputation.
Tapas
are a very important way of life fro the Spanish and to
recreate some of the best dishes at home is to bring in
a little bit of the seductive social atmosphere.
In
this recipe section we have strived to include some of the
most traditional tapas dishes, which are served locally
here in our village and throughout the region of Granada.
All of the recipes are put together with the help of local
bar and restaurant owners and chefs to ensure you can experience
the true authenticity of the Spanish tapa at home.
