You got a table and ordered drinks, and then would go grab whatever you wanted, each dish had a small wooden stick- there were I think 3 types representing different prices. When you finished they counted your sticks and added it to your tab.
But I suspect this was maybe an unusual thing, done to move bigger crowds through at peak season?
No, not unusual. Depending on the area of Spain this may be common.
