We love the annual “Ruta de Tapas” which takes place in Costa Teguise every year. Organised by the town hall, it’s a celebration of Spain’s most famous eating style.

A dozen or so bars and restaurants in the town have got together to offer a drink and a tapa (a small dish of their speciality dish) for just €2.50 per person. Last year we enjoyed beer, wine and cider and some fabulous dishes including albondigas (meatballs) boquerones (small pickled fish) and papas bravas.

This year’s event runs from 17th December until 7th January, so look out for the signs in the windows when you’re in town. We’ll post the bar’s names as soon as they are released, there should be special passports available to collect from the Costa Teguise Tourist Information Office too.

The list of restaurants is now attached to the bottom of this post for download.
