But beyond that, the important thing is quality and experience.  <\/p><h3>Which is better, ordering pinchos or raciones?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on the plan. The pinchos are ideal to try variety; the raciones, to share more calmly. The usual is to combine both.  <\/span><\/p><h3>What is the difference between pincho and tapa?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pincho is usually more elaborate and is ordered separately. The tapa is simpler and, in some cases, is included with the drink. <\/span><\/p><h3>What to order if we go as a group?<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is best to share: several portions in the center and some skewers to taste. This way everyone participates and the experience is more complete. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tapear in Alcal\u00e1 de Henares is much more than eating.
