The tradition of TAPAS in Spain is believed to have begun as a necessary means.
Bar keepers, in an effort to ward off flies, would cover glasses of sherry with a saucer or lid.
In an effort to attract customers, these establishments would place a bit of food on this lid, and thus, "Tapas" were born.
