The Art of Tapas

In the province of Almería, and Alhama is no exception, tapas are always free when you order a drink (small beer, wine, or soft drink).

For lunch: from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM. For dinner: from 8:30 PM to 11:30 PM. 2:00 PM is peak local time.

Traditional "tapeo" involves going from bar to bar, having one drink and its accompanying tapa at each stop—don't just sit in one place!

Try these local classics: tabernero (spicy ratatouille), cherigans (toasted bread with toppings), or migas (a rainy-day special).
