Tapas 101: How to enjoy Spain’s favourite way to eat
While every venue has its own specialties, a few universal tips will help you get the most from a tapas-style meal:

- Share generously: Tapas are designed for the table. Order several to pass around so everyone tries a bit of everything.
- Pace yourself: Start with a couple of plates and add more as you go. Tapas shine when you linger and enjoy the conversation.
