Benidorm Tapas Special!

Tapas... those small, Spanish snacks which take many forms. 'How shall I describe thee? Well to tell the truth, I cannot count the ways' - because quite literally there are hundreds of types.

Those who like the fun of new eating experiences whilst on holiday will enjoy a visual and tasty feast. And to those who might only wimpishly venture forth, remember if you like eat/fish/ vegetables/eggs/cheese you?re bound to find a few tapas to fit the bill. Begin by choosing something you can easily recognise then... go on, have a go, you know you want to!

 Tapas Alley ... running from Pl. de la Constitutio, and along Santo Domingo.

Tapas Alley is the locals' name for a mouth watering concentration of Catalan or Basque style 'Tapas opportunities', running from Pl. de la Constitutio, and along Santo Domingo. As you?re about to read, it?s not just tapas ? take your pick from a number of choices to suit all tastes, budgets and appetites. But as Spanish food experiences go, it?s well worth having a look ? so interesting, so Spanish.

So take a stroll... And there?s an added bonus. Many local people enjoy whiling away the time here so you?ll get a real flavour of Spain in more ways than one.
