There are many different versions as to the origin of tapas, which also depends on the region in
Spain. One version, the most popular, is that it started as a simple piece of bread placed over the
wiine glass or bottle to keep the flies out. The word "tapa" means cover or lid. So it began...
Quickly developing into savory morsels of cheeses, hams, vegetables placed over slices of bread or
on their own. As well as almonds fried and served hot...always accompanied by a glass of vino or
sherry.
Spain's diversity in regions, climates and landscapes has helped create the tapas or pintxos, as
they are known in the northern regions. They can be simple small dishes...to the elaborate...but
always with lots of flavor.
