Tapas

Tapas, or "covers," were originally pieces of ham and bread that were placed
on top of wine glasses at Spanish roadside inns to keep out the dust. Today,
tasty tidbits are served at Tapas Bars throughout Spain and Latin America
Appetizers & Snacks and are enjoyed as an afternoon snack, or as a meal on their own.
