In Spain, tapas are bite-sized snacks served with a drink.

This culinary tradition began in the thirteenth century, when King Alfonso X of Castile issued an order for taverns and inns to serve alcohol with a small helping of food, in an effort to reduce the number of drunkards on the streets.

According to other sources, a slice of bread was used to prevent dust or flies from landing inside wine pitchers, and this was the origin of the noun ‘tapa’ in its culinary sense (for ‘tapa’ means lid in Spanish).

Most bars offer a saucer with olives, chips, nuts or a slice of bread with a cold cut on top. In others, however, tapas have grown in size and become more sophisticated, transformed into a unique culinary experience in their own right.

20 different establishments will take part in this year’s long awaited and very popular Ruta de la Tapa in Torre del Mar (it’s the 11th year) They will all individually present a delicious tapa together with a drink for only €3.00

Three of us went last week to try a few of the offerings for this year. We did four different ones and we were satisfied with them all, if one has to give any points, we will give between 3.5 - 4.5.

Why points?

When you take part in Ruta de la Tapa you are given a passport, fill in the passport with the stamps of each of the establishments and rate each tapa from 1 to 5 points. There will be some great prizes raffled among all completed passports. More accurate details when you participate.
