The popularity of tapas has skyrocketed on the international gastronomic scene in recent years. But what are<\/em> tapas, exactly? And how do you define the culture around tapas in Spain?<\/p>\r\n

Ask any self-proclaimed foodie to define “tapas,” and they’ll probably tell you something along the lines of “Spanish small plates.” That answer is correct in some cases, but not always. Yes, tapas are undoubtedly Spain’s most iconic contribution to world cuisine, but they’re so much more than simply small plates. (In fact, many times they’re not “small” at all!) Tapas aren’t just food here in Spain\u2014they’re an integral part of our culture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All that being said, Spain is a large and diverse country with 17 unique autonomous communities. A tapas crawl in Madrid can be totally different than one in Andalusia. The one constant is that no matter where you plan on enjoying tapas in Spain, you’re sure to have an incredible time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
