    One advantage of having family members with itchy feet is the opportunity it provides to travel to wonderful places and visit loved ones at the same time.
    My daughter Monica teaches Middle school classes at the American School in Barcelona. Visiting her and boyfriend Ruben last year gave me a chance to experience one Spanish institution that isn’t in most guide books: tapas.
    Imagine being served a steady stream of imaginative and beautifully presented hors d’ouevres without having to get dressed up… That’s tapas.
    Monica took me to many of the best tapas “restaurants” that aren’t really restaurants – – mostly tiny hole-in-the-wall bars designed for six customers but overflowing with 20. Every little plate gets passed to you over people lucky enough to find space closer to the bar.
    And the taste! As subtle and nuanced as the joint is crowded and full of shoulders.
    My exploration of tapas was cut short by the calendar. Before I could complete my informal course on the subject, it was August 1 and almost every small business in the city seemed to have closed its shutters for the month-long summer vacation.
    Oh well, time to start planning a follow up tour.
