Theword
tapas
has become part of the global vernacular. Yet, the true
adventure of the
tapeo
, a venerable social institution inSpain, just can’t be
imitated, try as the rest of theworldmight. Chefs elsewheremaymake the
dishes, andbartendersmay pour thewine, but only inSpaindoes the tapeo
rise to an actual art form. Topartake is an almost sacred act, especially in the
capital city ofMadrid. There, it’s taken very, very seriously.
