TAPAS TRAIL UPDATE

As you know the 11th to the 27th of February there was a tapas Trail round Cartagena.

I went down on the 26th evening with some friends and we had a great evening going round a few of the bars having some beers and tapas.

Thought you would like to see some of the pictures taken by Mike Frisbee who is a professional photographer, who has kindly let me put them on my blog  ( see details for him here http://polarisworldandbeyond.blogspot.com/2010/11/taking-better-pictures-of-your-property.html )

We started off at Carrot Real

and had what they called a breaded anchovy, This was one of our favourite tapas on the whole night.

Then we  had a walk through the streets

 and went up to one of my favourite bar / restaurants in Cartagena , Taperia de Casa Tomas ( to see my review on this place click here:

Here we had something that was a little like a minature sunday dinner!

Next we went just over the square to la Trolla Tapas

and had a minature sandwich with wedges

The next place was a little walk but well worth it, I am definatly going to go back and try their restaurant menu as it was very busy and food looked great.

It was called CASON EL TIO ANDRES



You walked in and there was the bar area, the whole place was buzzing and round the bar were people having tapas and watching the football, the bar area was adorned with produce:

Then as you walked up a few stairs was the main eating area, where there was a Bull watching down one you

We had what was delicious and was like a sausage and onion and potato mash

We finished off in El Barril, which is always a very busy popular place with the locals, it is very conveniently located just up near roman ampitheatre

Here we had an aubergine tapa, which its looks do not do it justice as is very delish ;)

This trail you could do anytime and try any tapas in each bar, a great way of finding new places in Cartagena
