"Ripe with the flavours of history and seasoned with the tastes of
modern times, Spanish Tapas are mouth watering little dishes of delight.
According to Spanish folklore, the first Tapas was a slice of cured ham
thrown hastily over a glass of sherry, to keep the flies out. The ham
was so popular that it gave birth to the tradition of Spanish Tapas.
Today, Tapas Bars are at the centre of every Spanish community, from the
remote, relaxed mountain regions to the busy crowded city streets. Twice
daily, Spaniards congregate at their favourite local bar for a glass of
chilled sherry or wine, conversation with friends and of course to
celebrate Tapas. We give you La Plancha, enjoy her surroundings and
atmosphere, and enjoy the varied Tapas dishes on offer".
