A cantina is a type of bar popular in Italy, Mexico, and Spain. The word is similar in etymology to "canteen", and is derived from the Italian word for a cellar, winery, or vault.〔(cantina. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000 )〕 In Italy the cantina may also be used to store meat products such as salami.〔(Salame di felino - Naso&Gola )〕 The term ''cantina'' entered the French language circa 1710 as ''cantine''. It was used originally to refer to the shop of a sutler. ==Types of cantinas== ===Spain=== In Spain, a ''cantina'' is a bar located in a train station or any establishment located at or near a workplace where food and drinks are served. ''Cantina'' was one of the foreign words that entered in from Renaissance Italy. During the 16th century, the Spanish Empire included large holdings in Italy. Luis de Bávia wrote in his ''Tercera y Cuarta Parte de la Historia Pontifical y Católica'' (1621): "Perdiéndose en las cantinas y lugares baxos () gran número de mercaderías..." ("Losing itself in the cantinas and places of ill repute a large quantity of merchandise...").〔''Diccionario de Autoridades. Edición facsímil. A-C. Real Academia Española'' (Madrid: Editorial Gredos, 1979), 125.〕 The cantina features in one of the sonnets of Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645). This is a quatrain from that sonnet: :''Esta cantina revestida en faz;'' :''esta vendimia en hábito soez;'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cantina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
