In Spain, eating is not a task to get through — it is the whole evening.
I learned to do it the Spanish way: small plates, good wine, and hours of conversation. You wander from bar to bar, ordering a few tapas at each, never rushing. It is less about the food (though the food is incredible) and more about the rhythm of it.
What to order
- Jamón ibérico — melt-in-your-mouth cured ham.
- Patatas bravas — crispy potatoes with smoky sauce.
- Gambas al ajillo — garlic prawns, sizzling.
- Tinto de verano — the local’s answer to sangria.
