Did you know?
🍺 In many bars across Andalucía — especially in Granada and Almería — you still receive a free tapa with every drink you order. This tradition is called la tapa and it is completely free. Some bars give you two or three tapas per drink!
🗣️ The word caña — a small draught beer of around 200ml — is the most ordered drink in Spain. In some regions it is called zurito, quinto or tubo depending on the size and the city!
🥘 Tapas culture began as a practical tradition — bar owners would place a small piece of bread or food on top of the glass to keep flies out. Tapar means to cover — and that is exactly where tapas get their name!
💶 Splitting the bill evenly — a escote — is completely normal in Spain. But it is also very common for one person to invite — invitar — meaning they pay for everyone. And next time someone else invites!
