So... when I say spanish Tapas are a great thing, I mean tapas like this:

It's like a mini meal for free! This is paella, which is a typical dish here. It's made of rice with various ingredients such as peppers, peas, squids, mussels, clams, and sometimes chicken and/or fish. Have you tried it? :')

Tiger and I went to spend the weekend at my parent's home, so we could celebrate together the patron saint's days of my hometown. These holidays are all about food and drinks, so we had plenty of tapas and other delicious food (my mom's homemade dishes and other fancy menus from restaurants) Here are the tapas we had:

These puff pastry were filled with peppers and mushrooms and covered in that white soft cheese sauce. Pretty good, a bit too oily but loved the crunchiness!

Mackerel chunks with balsamic vinegar over bread with caramel~coated onions. Nothing special but mackerel does work well with onions.

Big mussel croquette. Tasted like other famous tapa called "Tigres" (Tigers in spanish!) which are stuffed mussels. This croquette just lacked the shell, heheh.

Before our charity dinner we went to our new favorite bar in Madrid, La Soberbia, (which I talked about in the previous Tapas post).

This time with our beer they gave us pork loin sandwiches in puff pastry (once again I didn't try them but Tiger did) . He said they were pretty tasty. :')

New Tag/Category: Tapas!! :')
In many bars and restaurants in Spain they give you something to eat for free, with your drink. It's very usual going to a few bars for beer/soda/wine and have a few tapas with them. Sometimes this practice is considered as lunch itself. It's one of my favorite spanish traditions :')
At La Soberbia today they gave us meatballs in tomato sauce with bread (I didn't try them but Tiger did) with our cañas (small glass of beer).
