There's no such thing on a real tapas place.

Also, note that the practise of tapa-ing varies greatly from region to
region and Valencia is one of the places where so-called 'tapas bars'
are usually rip-off places loosely inspirated on Basque or Andalusian
themes.

They are "bars that serve food in small portions", not "tapas places".

just for the record, for a free tapas with your drink then you must head for
Granada. It is the best city in Spain and Europe for 'nibbles' with your
drinks. It's a fact. Ask any Spaniard from Andalucia.

It's always been 'sitios de tapeo' for me, but then I might be wrong :)

I'm more of a Salamanca fan when it comes to tapas, but Granada is a
very close 2nd.

I'm neither Andalusian or Castillian so I guess I'm pretty neutral to
that respect :)
