🧺 What Tapas prepare for a Beach Picnic?😋
🧀 Tortilla de patatas: the queen of the Spanish picnic
No Spanish picnic is complete without a good tortilla. Cut it into small pieces or squares like a skewer and store it in a Tupperware container, and it will withstand the heat well. You can make it with or without onion (we won’t get into a debate! 😅). You can bring it cut into squares, skewers, or portions. Add onion if you’re on that side 😉. Ideal for sharing by the sea in a cove on the Costa Blanca.
🥖 Montaditos: tasty and easy-to-carry bites. The ultimate tapas. Here are some delicious ideas:
- Serrano ham with tomato 🍅
- Tuna with piquillo peppers 🐟
- Manchego cheese with quince jelly 🧀
- Vegetables with hummus 🥬

🧆 Meatballs, cold or in sauce. Did you know that meatballs are delicious even cold? You can prepare them in tomato sauce or homemade and take them with you in a Tupperware container. 🤤 A hearty tapa to recharge your batteries after a swim!
🥗 Fresh and complete salads. A good beach salad is always a winner. Dress just before eating to maintain its texture. 🥄 Some winning combinations:
- Pasta, tuna, corn, and olives 🌽
- Chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and feta 🧅
- Rice, shrimp, and tropical pineapple 🍤🍍
🍉 Fresh fruit: sweet, healthy, and refreshing. Tapas aren’t just about savory. Cut fruit (watermelon, melon, grapes 🍇, strawberries 🍓) is ideal for hydration and refreshment. Bring it in a covered container and, if possible, with a cooler bag to keep it cool. On hot days on the Costa Blanca, it’s like liquid gold! 💦
