DISCOVER 8 TAPAS PARADISES IN AND AROUND PINOSO
Spain is known for its tapas dishes. Small bites served during a drink. Originally meant to protect your drink from flies and dust (the saucer covered the glass). Nowadays, they are especially delicious snacks and appetizers.
Below some of our favorite restaurants of the region.

Tu Rincón gastrobar (Jumilla)
Although we haven't been here yet, this place is high on our list due to its creative tapas with an international twist.
Bar Los Zagales (Murcia)
Our favorite, located in the heart of Murcia, near the stunning cathedral. This establishment has been around since 1926 and is nearly invisible from the outside. It's narrow but stretches far back. If you come between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM, you'll find it packed. Try the tigres or fried tree leaf (!), but everything on the menu is tasty, fresh, and traditional. No reservations are possible.
