The food experience in Almeria is unique, we call it "tapaear" (tapa-ing), but if you are not familiar with the city or do not speak Spanish it can be a daunting and sometimes disappointing task doing it on your own. I love food, fun facts about my city, and sharing all of the above with my friends. And now I can't wait to share all of the best things I have discovered with you!! The number of bars we will visit will depend on the continually changing regulations for the pandemic. No matter the number of locations you will leave with a very full stomach and a great experience!
