Tapa Tuesdays

Though tapas have their roots in Andalusia and the Basque Country, they have clearly become a cultural symbol of Spain's late-night eating and drinking culture.  Considered the original 'small bites' food, tapas are intended to promote conversation, and are perfectly accompanied by a glass of sangria. Check out these pics from a successful tapas mission at Cerveseria Catalana!

FLAUTA: A little sandwich with eggplant, pepper and anchoivies.
GAMBAS: Skewered shrimp, a la plancha.
YUM: Grilled baby squid with lemon.
STACKED: Eggplant, Pepper and goat cheese...so dank.

CALIMOCHA KALIMOTXO: An epic thirst quencher, it's made with red wine and cola...so good. 

TAPAS: Not a native Barcelona food, they actually hail from Andalusia and Basque Country (pinxtos).  Either way, Cerveseria Catalana does them justice.
BAR: Most of the cold or room temp tapas are served right at the bar.
SANGRIA: We ordered Cava Sangria which is made with cava, orange and lemon juice and other unknown alcohol. So bomb.

Molt be i bon nit!
