Tapas night in Granada is a famous outing for Spanish students to experience the culture of the city. Granada is one of the few remaining cities who serve free Tapas when you buy a drink. In definition, Tapa is, “to cover” It’s a form of snacking and it has been this way for generations, historically, it was known to be served with wine to offset the taste of wine.
