Holiday in Spain

Tapasthe name of a wide variety of appetizers that are combined to make a full meal in Spanish Cuisine


The only time I have ever ate tapas before was at Radio Maria's in Champaign and I loved it! But, let's be honest.. Champaign probably isn't world renown for having the best tapas. However, Spain IS world renown for having the best tapas, so I knew I was in for a treat. Plus my best friend Stephanie is studying abroad in Spain, so she took us to the best tapas restaurant, La Flaunta.


I didn't know what to order, so Stephanie ordered for me. She ordered me Pan con Tomate. Which could be equivalent to Bruschetta. It used the same four ingredients - bread, tomatoes, olive oil and cheese. However with Pan Con Tomate, the texture was different. The bread is crunchier - it tasted like pizza crust from America. Also, instead of using chunks of tomatoes like Bruschetta, Pan Con Tomate has a tomato paste which makes it so much easier to eat.
