TAPAS BARS
Tapas bars are all about history, flavor, and good vibes. They started with small plates covering wine glasses (tapa means "lid") and turned into a fun way to share tasty bites like tortilla and jamón. Lively and full of variety, they’re the heart of Spanish dining!

Bar Los Zagales (Murcia)
Our favorite, located in the heart of Murcia, near the stunning cathedral. This establishment has been around since 1926 and is nearly invisible from the outside. It's narrow but stretches far back. If you come between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM, you'll find it packed. Try the tigres or fried tree leaf (!), but everything on the menu is tasty, fresh, and traditional. No reservations are possible.
Bar-Cerveceria La Cañada (Cañada del Trigo)
Run by young people, this place offers delicious tapas presented in a charming manner on a cozy square. Spaniards prefer to dine indoors here. Their unique patatas bravas are well-known in the area.
