Eat tapas like a local in Spain

Spain, Europe

Barcelona city view

Eating tapas in Spain is a social ritual and a ‘complete tapas experience’ involves hopping from bar to bar and enjoying a couple at each bar!

We recommend booking a tapas tour to help get your bearings, where a local guide will take you to a few of their favourite bars and show you how it’s done - then you’ll be set.

A few tips... keep your eye out for happy hours, each bar has a speciality dish, don’t order everything in the first bar and the best tapas bars are always crowded so pop into any lively looking place - Salud!
