thanks for the information Tony👌
Hope it was useful!
Hola Tony ! 😃
Your video really made me feel peckish !!! Tapas Bar hopping in Spain is so enjoyable !!! You’re right, you can get carried away with your orders, but the experience is worth it ! 👍
Thanks for the helpful tips… it will really come in handy in my next Tapas adventure 👍 👍 Always looking forward to your future videos! 👍 Cheers !!!😃
Hello Jasper, tapas are such a huge thing in Spain, aren't they? Hope you can try them again soon! All the best!
Bar hopping and eating tapas. That sounds like a good time.
Indeed!
¡Muchas gracias!😋🍲
¡A ti!
Very helpful information
👍🏻
Love your local ❤️ Tapas advice! I’m American 🇺🇸 and becoming Spanish soon!
Whatever your passport, we hope you'll have a great stay in Spain!
Hello Tony. Thank you for you amazing and informative videos, I haven't found any others as useful! I only wish that you had family-friendly/kids friendly versions of the main attractions in the major destinations. As amazing as your recommendations appear they seem geared to adults mainly. We will be exploring Portugal and Spain with 2 kids, age 8 and 10! Even so, thank you for all the practical tips we will surely use!
Thank you, Agnes. On this channel we share first-hand experiences. As we don't have kids, nor dogs, nor drive a camper van, cannot produce that type of content, much as we would like to. Kids in particular are an incredibly tricky subject, as no two kids are alike. There are kids that will go wherever their parents go, others demand a tailored itinerary. All the very best to you!
Another very nicely explained topic - thank you so much. Although you might want to include a warning at the beginning of the video to not watch it with an empty stomach - looking at all those delicious tapas was making me even more hungry. 😁
Never on an empty stomach, good piece of advice! All the best!
Great info! I visit Spain all the time but it's confusing as a tourist to know what real tapas are when there are 100s of bars/restos catering to tourists. You have to do research to find an authentic tapas bar
Researching is an important part of the success of a trip. Don't miss our tapas tours through Barcelona and Madrid, where we help with the part of choosing bars.
Tony - another great video! I am going by myself to Spain in September, and of course will do the tapas. I am worried about how to share a table with other people who will be strangers
Thanks, in most bars you will share the actual bar, but sharing tables is not that common.
Love your videos. I wonder if you have somewhere you recommend to buy items for a picnic to take with me to Montserrat. Thank you
Thank you! Any supermarket in Barcelona will do.
Great info as usual. You mentioned Vigo in Galicia, what would you consider some classic regional tapas there as we will be in Vigo in about 9 days. Maybe specific places you can recommend?
Hi Dave, in Vigo you should go for anything coming from the sea: mejillones, zamburiñas, navajas, pulpo, percebes, almejas and a myriad other delicacies. We don't have any specific recommendation but there are a couple of streets right in the centre of Vigo where you will find many bars serving those tapas. Have a great trip!
Hola Tony
Thanks for the great video! We will use your tips for our trip to Barcelona this coming October and for our trip next year. Can we add a tapas recommendation on the 30 days or more trip for next year? Thanks Zoe and Ramon
Thanks, Zoe and Ramon. We didn't quite get your request. So far, we have tapas tours on Barcelona and Madrid. Cheers!
Great advice as always Tony, I am visiting Madrid next month with 2 friends, would you order raciones to share between 3 or order a few tapas?
Thanks, Michael. It depends on the specific tapas you are ordering, some do not come in the form of raciones. It's all down to the food your order. Do remember you can always play it safe and order more if you are still hungry.
excellent video Tony, very informative.. visiting Spain in May 2023 and actually we are from India and we are vegetarian.. so can you please help us with any good restaurants with vegetarian food in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Malaga, Valencia or Ibiza.. if you dont have much idea about it then no issues.. thank you in advance
Hi Deep, as you will understand, we can't produce a complex guide to vegetarian restaurants all over Spain on a commentary box. But there are vegetarian restaurantes EVERYWHERE. Our "menús del día" videos on Madrid and Barcelona include some.
Thanks for your practical videos .we are visiting Spain and Portugal from 28june-18 july23 and renting a camper to see both countries. We start in Barcelona go to Portugal and our tour ends in Madrid where we fly to Cape Town
Can you please advise me of ssome kind of itinerary and love to see more of the rural areas than the cities. Want to visit wine estates and the beautiful coast. I hope you can help
Regards
Pilla
Hi Pilla, we intend to create a consultancy service to help with queries like yours, but so far it is at a planning stage.
I am starting to see a number of tapas bars closed Saturday and/or Sunday. Is this with most tapas bars? I am only in Barcelona two days, a Saturday and a Sunday. Thank you
That could be the case with very traditional family-run bars. But it is not the case with most tapas bar by all means.
very informative video! what is the location at the 3:38 timetsamp?
Salamanca's Plaza Mayor: th-cam.com/video/gyjxZk4hnDo/w-d-xo.html
I am looking to tapas at the end of this month, but worry about catching Covid (before the cruise). Will have to look for bar that has outside table, and come in early. Is there a good one in Zaragoza?
There are plenty of outdoor terraces everywhere in Spain, even more so during the summer months. We like Dominó at Plaza Santa Marta.
Casa Domino, thank you very much.
@@AZRockRunner they have just a handful of outdoor tables, but if they are full and if you ask the waiter, he will set up a new one for you.
I am planning to go Spain and one of the reasons is the food (Tapa's). Do they provide menu with explanation for non-Spanish speakers? Thank you!
Some places in tourist destinations will have English translations for the names of the tapas. But explanations are hard to come by. We plan on recording a tapas dictionary in the not so distant future.
Tony are most menus in bars and restaurants in English too?
In tourist cities like Barcelona or Madrid, quite a lot of restaurants have menus in English. But not all of them. In less tourist destinations, English menus are hard to find.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you Tony.
Can kids (teenagers) go to the bar where alcohol is be served as well?
Yes, even toddlers you will see, no restrictions at all.
As a tourist, when would it be the most appropriate to order sangria then?
Hi Rhia, check out our video on the subject th-cam.com/video/rxzQRiR1y4w/w-d-xo.html

Thanks!
Very kind of you!
