little /snack-sized portions and mini filled rolls
Pincho = tapa = aperitivo in Spanish usage, but remember, this is not what is sold as a tapa in "Tapas Bars" in the UK, where they give you what we would call a rather meagre (but pricey) ración in Castilla y León.
Pulga or pulguita
Wish there was a snappier way of saying this.

: I'm adding a web page, where the 'pulgas' are referred to as 'tiny meat-filled rolls'

As for 'pincho' or 'tapa' it is just a snack portion of whatever...

: Un par de puntualizaciones: de tapas podéis ir 2 o 10 o 20 -the more the merrier-, y tomarlas sentados. Even have a serious conversation. :-)
