The word tapas means in Spanish "cover". Tapas were invented in Andalusia which is in the south of Spain. In this wine-making region, it is the custom to place a saucer on top of a glass of wine in order to keep the little fruit flies out. A small amount of food placed on the dish helped attract clients to the wine bar.

And this is how it all started, now tapas are now found everywhere in Spain. They can be simple dishes like mushrooms with garlic to very complex ones- like marinated octopus. The list is endless, your tastebuds will go wild!
