MORE ABOUT THIS VIDEO

I remember about two years ago when I was giving a tapas tour in Madrid for my company Devour Spain, and in the first bar one of my guests said to me, Are we in a tapas bar now? Boom! Thats when I realised that although tapas have gone global, people who are visiting Spain for the first (and second) time often have no clear idea of what it really means to go out for tapas in this country. Or actually what tapas actually are.

And I dont blame them. Its flat out confusing. So, I made this video to try and explain what after four years in Spain I think tapas are. And to give you my three hard-won tips for going out for tapas like a local. Watch, learn and drool!
