IV TAPAS TRAIL IN CARTAGENA

From the 11th to the 27th February 2011 there will be the IV tapas trail in Cartagena, if you havent been to one before you should go!

They are great fun and not only do you get to try some lovely tapas but you find your way round Cartagena into places and bars and streets you would have never gone.

So this is how it works, There are 38 bars and restaurants participating in this trail, each one has a special tapa, you follow the route and go round as many places as you wish and try their special tapa with a drink (beer, wine, soft drink) for 2.50. you then can vote on the best tapa and go into a draw for prizes and by voting you will also receive a free entry into either Puerto de Culturas or Parque Minero de La Unión.


Below are the rules, route and tapas

To see full info on their website in english, go to:

Where you can also configure your personal route.

I have done a few of these and I couldnt reccomend them highly enough. You can see info and pictures of the one I did last year here:

TAPAS TRAIL MURCIA

From the 23rd November 2010 to the 3rd December 2010 there will be a tapas trail around Murcia.

Price 2euros for a tapa and a drink (soft drink, beer or wine)

These are great fun and a superb way to try different tapas and discover new bars and restaurants you would have never found.

There are almost 40 establishments participating and each one will have a different tapa on sale.
You can pick up the programme with the map in the first bar you go to, but below is a copy to get you started and to plan your route.

 The idea is you go round at least 6 establishments try their speciality tapa, you get a stamp for each tapa tried. You are suposed to vote on the tapa and give it marks out of 5. The place with the most marks will win.
Also if you get at least 6 stamps you can post it i one of the special urns in the plaza cardenal and be i with the chance of 3 special prizes.
Prize 1st - your weight in Beer (estrella levante)
Prize 2nd - A christmas Hamper
Prize 3rd- A variety of hams and a meal or dinner for 4 in the Restaurante Abrasador Canovas.

So go and Enjoy :)

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
