Tapas & More

These are pictures of two different Tapas bars I have been to. The tapas bar in the two pictures to the left is called Sagardi on Carrer De Saint Vinvent Martir. They leave various plates of different Tapas out on the

counter all day. There are all kinds of munchies. You can't really see the food very well in the pictures. But each Tapa is usually a meat or cheese or seafood on a small slice of bread. There are also lots of little sandwiches (bocadillo's). They are like food passed at a cocktail party. Each Tapa has a toothpick in it. Either a short or long toothpick. When you have eaten as much as you want the waiter just counts the toothpicks and they know what to charge you. It's a beautiful thing, the food is wonderful and looks so enticing! Now the picture on the right is the same place I had dinner last night. This is a little different. There are plates of food but you don't physically pick an individual tapa. You either order off the menu or you just point to which tapas you want and they put what you ask for on a little plate and hand it to you. The first time I went there I was starving and I asked for three different things. There was so much on each plate I couldn't nearly finish it. I think it coast about 5 euros. Last night I had a large plate of seafood and a bottle of red wine for 20 euros. One euro is about $1.50 but the exchange rate changes everyday.
