At just $11.80 per head, Tapas are a great way to start your Spanish Fiesta. Since the Spanish traditionally eat dinner late in the evening, tapas have long been a delightfully lengthy, and very sociable pre-cursor to the main meal. In Spain, tapas are served in bars and restaurants as small dishes of usually quite simple appetizers. They come in a wonderful variety, from cold plates of olives or cheese to hot dishes of chorizo, squid, vegetables etc.
