The tapa
A drink, a small plate, and the pleasure of taking your time.
In Alhama, as elsewhere in the province, tapeo unfolds around the bar: a few bites, a conversation that lingers, and the pleasure of discovering how each house does things.
The ritual at the bar
Tapeo is less a formula than a social rhythm: order a drink, discover what the house is serving, share a few bites, then let the conversation run on — sometimes at the next bar.
