The origin of the word is explained in multiple ways, let’s see one of them. In the old times, a small cover was put onto the glasses to protect wine from dust and others. Later, tiny portions of food were put onto these covers called ‘tapa’ in Spanish… and tapas was born! Padron alloys the Spanish traditions with items from other national cuisines. Red tuna with some cucumber seasoned with coriander or marinated pork medallions and shell, seasoned with pink pepper and chive are only two simple examples from its menu. Do they sound exciting, don’t they?
