Home A Tapas Party Tapas are the same things as hors d'oeuvres, except they are Spanish by nature and flavor.
Tapas are popular all over Spain and have been for centuries.
The tapas must be substantial enough to suffice for dinner, yet light in calories and fat to fit into the lighter, healthier eating style that we and our guests enjoy. We can assure you-ours are. Since we plan on staging the party indoors and outdoors, we set up small tables for the tapas throughout the house and garden to keep the party moving from one area to another. Unlike the courses of a dinner these tapas tables can be visited in any order and revisited at any time. Since tapas are usually eaten out of hand or with a toothpick, you won't need silverware, just brightly colored small paper plates, lots of cocktail size paper napkins, and several pretty trash cans throughout the area, marked for recycling the mineral water bottles and disposing of trash.
