Tapas
A tapa (Spanish for “lid” or “cover”) is a small appetizer that is usually served with wine in tapas bars, but also with beer. Tapas are similar to the mezedes common in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
In Spain, tapas are usually served in tapas bars and bodegas and are eaten standing up.
Our tapas are not for eating; they are small chunks of knowledge to be consumed on the go or in between meals.

If you recognize them early, you can avoid a problem or take advantage of an opportunity. Weak signals are often hidden in a flood of information and can easily be overlooked if you’re not paying close attention.
