This is a great resource to introduce students to tapa culture.

My students enjoyed reading about tapas. Was a perfect jumping off point for a conversation about tapas students would try.
Just Spanish Things –
My Spanish 2 students enjoyed this reading (they always love talking about food!), and I always like using the Pasaporte Cultural readings when I can. I think the sections are broken up/categorized well. I wish that maybe the reading was two sided so that the text could be larger/the images used could maybe be real images or have more detail to them.

My students enjoyed learning about tapas especially since many of them have never heard of them much less eaten them. Great information! I love the images.
