The exact origins of tapas are debated, but several popular theories exist. One suggests that King Alfonso XIII was served a drink with a slice of ham on top to prevent sand from entering his glass, and he enjoyed it so much he ordered all drinks to be served with a 'tapa' (lid). Another theory links it to bar owners offering small snacks to soak up alcohol and encourage patrons to drink more. Regardless of the true origin, tapas evolved from simple snacks to a diverse culinary art form.
