WHAT'S A TAPA?
A 'tapa' is a 'lid' or 'cover'. Long ago in Spain a small cover was placed over the wine glass and foods such as olives, cheese or Serrano ham were placed on it. Nowadays, Tapas can be any food that's served on small plates that usually accompanies wine or beer. They can also form an entire meal that can range from simple items such as olives or roasted nuts to more elaborate preparations like Spanish omelets (tortillas), stuffed peppers or kebabs.
Mediterranean cuisine is characterized by the freshest of ingredients, such as tomatoes, olives, garlic, lemons, herbs and meats such as lamb, pork and beef. Andalucian cuisine offers a special twist to the Mediterranean tradition in that Andalucia was heavily influenced by centuries of Moorish rule that saw the introduction of spices & ingredients from North Africa such as saffron, eggplants, apricots, artichokes, avocados, almonds and much more. Desserts feature almonds, lemon, chocolate & authenitic Spanish coffee (café solo & café con leche) is always available along with espresso & capuccino.
