Tapas- The appetizer for those snacky moments
In Spain the day starts and ends later. It is not unusual to see someone who strolls along the road, visits friends or eats in one of the numerous tapas bars at about 8 or 9 o'clock. A Spaniard usually goes out for food between 10 and 11 o'clock.
You should visit Spain and experience the gastronomy behavior firsthand! Spend your beach vacation in Spain, e.g. in a beautiful beach hotel in Costa Brava and visit one of the numerous bars, in order to try one the typical tapas dishes.
Spain is famous for its many, small tapas bars and restaurants. Tapas are small appetizer, which are generally offered with wine, or bear. Many restaurants and bars offer a wide range of tapas dishes; many are specialized in one or two dishes, which are preferably selected by the locals.

Wonderful and comfortable accommodations are everywhere, e.g. the comfortable "Amaika" Costa Brava beach hotel in Calella. An abundance of restaurants and bars are situated within the vicinity of the hotel.
