Yes, there is one "tapa". But since these are usually small dished you usually get more than one, and I guess that is why it is know as "Tapas".falcon269 said:I defer to the Spanish linguists among us, but is there a singular to "tapas" that is "tapa"?

Had one this afternoon here in TallyTown.
Indeed it is very refreshing.
I found that tapas are good or plain or excellent anywhere I went. In San Sebastian they were incredible and the price was incredibly high. In Ibiza they were incredible and the price was incredibly low.

Javier Martin said:From long times ago, there was usual to serve you something to eat when you ask for a glass of wine or a beer.
It was served in a little dish, enough to contain that few cuantity of meal.
And, this dish was placed over the glass, to avoid that flies felt down the wine or beer.
In spanish, "tapar", or a "tapa" means "to cover" something, because you really were covering the glass because the flies.
And, that's the reason for that name.
Buen Camino, enjoying always your tapas.

Javier Martin said:Shandy is the commercial name for the Clara from the Cruzcampo beer producer.
The clara is, just half beer with "gaseosa" or lemonade. Very popular in Spain in summer.
Buen Camino,
