In Spain, tapas encapsulate a social and cultural experience, ranging from intricate dishes to simple olives. They are typically enjoyed while standing at bars or small tables due to their informal nature.

Afterward, you'll make your way to Mercado de San Miguel, Spain's pioneering gourmet market, offering a glimpse into its food selections and market customs.
