Seven years ago, when I was living alone in Garrucha I used to meet up with a group of friends in a bar on a Friday. We were a mixed bunch, a Spaniard, two French people, a British couple and myself. Most of us would have copas y tapas, which in those days meant a glass of wine or a small beer, and a free tapa. However, the British couple did not drink alcohol and, although often a can of coke would cost more than a glass of wine, you did not get a free tapa with a soft drink in many places! So, we would have two drinks and two tapas each, costing us €4 each, but they would order about 5 or six tapas, ending up paying so much more than each of us.
