GREAT TAPAS BATTLE TRAIL - GRAN BATALLA GASTRONOMICA MEDITERRANEO

Well....After the superb TAPAS TRAIL held over the audi med cup in Cartagena, they are holding another one :) and this one coincides with the ROMANS AND CARTHAGINIANS FESTIVAL !

I thoroughly enjoyed the last one and will definatly go down for this one. Its a little different this time as you need to vote.

Basically there are 36 bars and restaurants participating and they have taken a side, so 18 establishments are Roman and 18 are Carthaginian.

Each one has chosen a speciality tapa, which they will serve throughout the Battle which runs from the 17th - 27th September

Basically you follow the map, and pop into a participating bar (there will be a poster on the door showing the tapas).

Each Tapa plus a drink(wine,beer or soft drink) costs 2.50 euros. You can print off the map above and tapas below to get you started but all the bars will have the maps and tapas guide in them on the bars.

But, this twist with this Tapas trail is you should go to 6 establishments, 3 from the Roman side and 3 from the Cartaginian side, have a tapa, get your card stamped, then you can vote for the best tapa.

The times for the tapas are from 11.30-4pm and then from 19:30-23:30

Once you have finished your trail, you need to fill in the form and hand it in to one of the places listed on the rules http://granbatallagastronomicadelmediterraneo.com/bases_concurso/BASES.pdf
One of these places is at the encapment of the Romans and Carthaginians at the stand 16
