King Alfonso

Invented by the Spanish king Alfonso the Wise in the 13th century, tapas are tiny plates of food that are eaten between meals. They are often served with alcohol, and are a staple in Spain and around the world.

Tapas have a long history in Spain, and many legends have been created to explain their origins. There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the origins of tapas. However, one common theme is that they began when King Alfonso the Wise was ill and needed to recover from a digestive disorder.

He was prescribed a large amount of wine, but it was also suggested that he eat small dishes of food in between meals to help combat the alcohol. These small dishes are called pasas, and they can include anything from a piece of cured meat to cheese.

It is believed that Alfonso the Wise’s illness was what brought tapas to Spain. It is also believed that his decree ordering taverns to serve food and wine together ushered in the modern tapas tradition. During his reign, he encouraged the Spanish Inquisition and helped to translate the Arabic classic The Book of One Thousand and One Nights into Spanish.
