It seems at some point many years ago (couldn’t tell you when) people were tired of the flies bombarding their open glasses of beer(or wine).
A bar-keep designed these little snacks, served on slices of bread so they could be placed over the opening of the glass to help keep the flies out. Hence tapa = top/lid (maybe not a literal translation but you get the idea).
Not sure that it was the smartest idea in terms of practicality (wouldn’t flies be equally if not more attracted to the snack?) but civilization is sure glad they did! And we love the price!
