Food lovers will have ten days to sample their way around Rincón de la Victoria when the town’s Ruta de la Tapa returns from Friday, November 13, to Sunday, November 22.
In its sixth year, the event brings together 31 bars and restaurants across La Cala del Moral, Rincon de la Victoria, Torre de Benagalbon and Benagalbon.
Each venue will prepare a tapa specially for the occasion, with every dish priced at €4 including a drink. Customers can choose a draught beer, soft drink or water. Participating premises will display a special sign.
Discover cuisine from Rincon
Organised by Rincon de la Victoria Council’s Tourism Department, the route encourages people to discover local bars and restaurants in the area.
A digital guide linked to Google Maps will help visitors find the venues and plan their route. According to the organisers, the guide has recorded 383,018 visits across the six editions.
Customers can also enter a draw for a share of the €1,000 prize fund. Visitors can collect a ‘tapaporte’ from any participating restaurant or the Municipal Tourist Office. To qualify, they must obtain stamps from four different establishments in at least two of the four local areas, vote for their favourite restaurant and submit the completed passport by November 22.
Which bar has the best tapas?
Five winners will each receive a voucher booklet worth €200. Each booklet contains four €50 vouchers, which must be used at four different participating restaurants by February 28, 2027. Completed passports can be deposited at participating venues or the Tourist Office.
€2,700 will go to the restaurants judged best. A public vote will also decide the public favourite. Full details, including the participating restaurants, their tapas and the competition rules, are available at turismoenrincon.es/ruta-de-la-tapa.
With 31 stops and a set price for food and drink, the route gives residents and visitors a chance to try local specialities without committing to a full meal.
