A small plate of good quality olives served with the menu to savor whilst making a selection would be a nice touch.

If your selection might be slightly more pan-Mediterranean in scope, a good spinach pie (spanakopita) would draw me in. Same thing with hummus, though that's going even further afield geographically.

I'm a sucker for a fresh-made salsa too. Especially if in-season locally-grown tomatoes are used.

Not sure how this ingredient might fit in, but dishes incorporating local game - with a Spanish twist - might be interesting. Maybe not as a regular menu item, but at least as a seasonal special if you can strike up a relationship with a local game butcher.
