A Spanish tapeo, or tapas-bar hop, can cover as many or as few establishments as you wish. Try following the locals’ custom of sampling each bar’s signature tapa, then moving on to the next bar. Or settle in at a favorite counter and have a degustation. Each tapa costs around $2.50, and raciones, larger portions that can be shared, run $6–$8. The prices listed below are for a light meal for two.
