Arguably one of Spain’s most significant contributions to global gastronomy, thetapa comes in all shapes and sizes, from the humble olive or a few potato chips all the way through to miniature banquets. The pincho, the tapa’s larger and more elaborate cousin, is to be found in the Basque Country, and most notably San Sebastián. The price of a tapa or pincho varies: some are offered free with a caña of beer or a glass of wine, and others are charged for separately. Below, 10 Spanish cities where tapas are offered free with drinks.

“One year ago, I found out I’d be moving to a 5,000 person village in Spain. I then found out I’d be the only foreigner. I remember like it was yesterday. I remember refreshing my e-mail every 10 minutes for two months straight, impatiently awaiting my city assignment. The next year of my life was completely in the hands of the Spanish government, and I was OK with it. In fact, more than OK…where would they put me? Sevilla? Madrid?! Barcelona?! And then I got the e-mail… Fregenal de la WHAT?! PANIC.” The beginning og AWanderingCasiedilla's journey in Spain.
