Adventures of a "Culture Vulture": Tapas Hopping

We all knew that eating Tapas was something on the "must do" lists when going to Spain. I always just thought that Tapas was a word for appetizer type portions of food that were shared amongst a group of people. I was never a real fan of them because you get a few bites of a lot of things that you are sharing with everyone but it doesn't feel like you had an actual meal. We were all in for a BIG surprise with a whole new definition of Tapas in Granada!

Granada is known for their Tapas Bar scene. Here's how it works...You choose any of the many Tapas Bars along the street and have a seat. Everyone orders their drink of choice (usually Sangria with our group) and then free, yes FREE food comes out. Sometimes it is a predetermined dish decided by the chef and sometimes you get to choose from a little menu what food you would like to enjoy, totally Gratis! We fell in love with this concept verrrry quickly!! Every day around 3-4 in the afternoon it turned into "Tapas Time"

First taste of Sangria

Kendall had planned to take us to a certain restaurant for our last night in Granada. But after a little deliberation, we decided a night of "Tapas Hopping" would be better! We ate and drank our way through Granada, stopping at 5 different Tapas Bars. We each took turns paying for a round, so at the end of the night we had spent only 10euros apiece, had 5 drinks, and full bellies! It doesn't get much better than that!

Monica was really excited for Chinese Tapas at stop #1...
