Tapas bars play a central role in social life in Spain, serving as a meeting spot for friends, family and visitors to connect each day. Each bar has its own signature tapas, sometimes focused on just a single ingredient - a favorite of ours in Madrid is known for delicious, fresh mushroom caps sautéed in white wine. The tapas featured here are some of the most popular dishes we've seen served in our countless visits to tapas bars throughout Spain. All are delicious, and all taste even better in good company!
