[QUOTE="waveprof, post: 381647, member: 23444"] The idea that tapas area an "adult" thing is certainly not a Spanish idea. Heck, the idea that a bar is an "adult" thing isn't Spanish. In the Basque Country, entire families are at Pinxto bars at 11 PM at night. Our 14 month old only got strange stares from the Americans. I don't know if you'll get free tapas (in the regions that still do that) without buying alcohol, you'd have to try it out. But you definitely can purchase them at the places that sell them. Also, for clarification, the difference between tapas and pintxo isn't just Castillian/Basque, pintxos are supposed to be more of a composed bite/dish, only in a single or two bite portion. Tapas aren't as complex (nor are they meant to be, and simple can be just as good, so that isn't a knock" The distinction between tapas and racciones (mentioned above) is mostly correct, except to say that things have "modernized" very regionally and you may see what that poster defines as racciones labeled tapas in some bars, and vice versa. You'll also see some places in Castilla y Leon advertising pinchos (Castillian for pintxo), but these are usually just tapas meant to sound more foodie because of the recent popularity of Basque food/pintxos (only made more strong throughout Spain after the recent smash hit movie "8 Basque Last Names" [/QUOTE]
