ROUND&ROUND
Tapas
Tapas are an integral part of the Spanish
culture, as they combine delicious food
and spending time with friends into one.
Tapas are essentially small plates of food
served with a drinklike beer or sangria. They
bring people together and have always
played an important role within the social
life of Madrileños; for this reason, Madrid
has endless tapas bars! Every bar has
its specialty which stands out among the
others. It is very common among locals to
walk around the city and go from bar to bar.
If locals are planning on visiting more than
one tapas bar during the evening, this is
sometimes referred to as ir de tapas.
