Spanish cuisine is known worldwide mostly in the images of the rounded pan containing paella for everybody. Surely paella, both "de pescado" - with fish - or "de carne" - meat - and vegetables is delicious but Spanish cuisine goes way beyond that. Moving south, in the Seville area, tapas are the real queens of the kitchen.

A tapa is a small dish, usually eaten before dinner or in many servings as dinner, made with local ingredients, fish, red meat and vegetables. Given the Spaniards' habit of having dinner very late, they started to have small dishes with wine or beer right after work, before the proper meal.
