Back to basics in Barcelona 

Ah, Barcelona… If you’re wandering the lively streets of El Born or the bustling boulevards of La Rambla, you’re in for a treat. Head to Bar del Pla for mouth-watering dishes like their melt-in-your-mouth grilled octopus, or swing by Cervecería Catalana for their legendary patatas bravas. They’re crisp on the outside and creamy within. Don’t forget to try a slice of pan con tomate, a simple yet divine combo of toasted bread, garlic, tomato and a drizzle of olive oil. *Sigh*… it’s Barcelona on a plate. 

Get to it in Granada 

If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol, then a day trip to Granada has to be in the works. Tapas here is a celebration of regional flavours, all served up with a side of vibrant local culture. Head to Bodegas Castañeda for a taste of local tradition, where their jamón and manchego cheese will taste like a party in your mouth. For something with a bit more flair, pop by Los Diamantes for fried fish. You’ll be in for a Granada classic that’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and totally addictive. Whether you're sipping on a crisp tinto de verano or a cold beer, Granada’s tapas are a delicious way to fuel your adventures without breaking the bank. 

Swoon-worthy tapas in Seville 

The sun-drenched streets of Seville are lined with brilliant bars serving up drool-worthy dishes. For a truly authentic experience, head over to El Rinconcillo, Seville’s oldest tapas bar, and try their legendary espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas) or jamón Ibérico. Sit back and let the flavours of Seville sweep you off your feet. 

Let Las Palmas lead the way 

Ready for a mix of local Canarian flavours and Mediterranean innovation? Find a cosy spot by the sea in Las Palmas and tuck into ropa vieja (shredded beef with chickpeas) and a plate of fresh papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) served with the iconic mojo sauce. Enjoying tapas here is the ideal blend of sun, sea and savoury, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients from the island.  

Vamp up your tapas game in Valencia 

A day trip to Valencia is a must if you’re holidaying on the Costa Blanca. Why, you ask? It’s a treasure trove of glorious little dishes. Think sizzling patatas bravas with smoky paprika aioli, creamy esgarraet (a sweet-salty combo of roasted red peppers and salted cod), or tender chipirones (grilled baby squid). Head to the buzzing El Carmen district or the historic Mercado de Colón, where trendy spots like Central Bar or Casa Montaña lay on tradition with a twist.
