The Spanish term tapa indicates a wide variety of food preparations typical of Spanish cuisine that are consumed as appetizers or appetizers. Usually tapa are served in small portions accompanied by alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks.

Tapas simply means “corks” and in Spanish history it is said that tapas are born right on caps that were placed over the glass. The history of tapas therefore seems to be subordinate to the custom of drinking and it is not uncommon to find bars where tapas are served together with the drink in a discounted way and never separately. So the size of the portion is that of a cap per glass. Another version of the legendary story of tapas is that this portion served to plug the effects of the alcohol he would have taken.
