The lovely custom of tapas began with bar and cafe owners placing a slice of bread on top of drinking glasses to stop insects falling in, this practice slowly evolved and you can now get a miniature meal on a side plate with a drink.The food, which varies from bar to bar can consist of simple foods such as nuts and crisps or olives to more elaborate dishes such as slices of bread topped with Jamon, prawns, chicken, roast pork and cheese and ocasionally warm dishes of roast pork or chicken.
Tapas are very rarely served in the bars along the coast, and if they are are they are usually charged to your bill. You have to move inland to sample real tapas and they are free with every drink.
If we are going to a restaurant for a meal we avoid the tapas bars as we quickly lose our appetite after a few drinks.

Hi Ronnie
I have been trying to buy a house in Martos for almost a year but I've made things difficult for myself, and the agents, by insisting that it must have a garage for campervan storage while I am back in New Zealand.
I've not been able to find any of your blog pages more recent than the end of 2006. Are you still in Martos?
Good luck, Kiwi
