Gastronomic Route "De Tapas por el Puerto"

You know, I was reflecting upon what could be the reason for people asking where they could get 'nice English food' in Tenerife and the thought crossed my mind, very briefly, that it could be because Britain has filled with trendy tapas bars in recent years, so folk want to try something different.

Yes, I quickly dismissed the thought again too. :)

Anyway, for those of you who are adventurous enough to venture away from the plethora of fast food, roast beef dinners and full English Breakfasts, I'm assuming that you know what tapas are and, that if you'll eat them at home, you'll be willing to try some here in Tenerife too.

The whole concept of going "de tapas" is such a respectable way of suggesting a pub crawl too, but you'll have to hurry as this opportunity only exists until the end of the month - or this coming Sunday, to be exact.

Puerto de la Cruz is holding it's first I Ruta Gastronómica (Gastronomic Route), entitled "De tapas por el Puerto", in which 22 participating restaurants in the town are offering visitors the chance to try a tapa, plus other "Productos de la Tierra" (products of the land): especially the ones made from either grapes or barley (considered here to be almost "health foods"! :-)

The cost for this small portion of food, accompanied by a glass of wine or beer is just 2 euros (about £1.35). Partakers also get a "culinary passport", which lists all 22 bars, opening times, etc., and, those who manage to complete the entire route and present their passport fully stamped, participate in a prize draw for a weekend for 2 in a 4 Star hotel, spa treatments, or their own weight in wine!

We do suggest that you don't have to do it all in one day though!

Six of the participating bars are; Casa Pablo (Avenida de Venezuela), Rancho Grande (Paseo de San Telmo), Dinámico (Plaza del Charco), Casa Régulo (Pérez Zamora), Casa Pache (La Verdad) y Granada-Casa Lolo (San Felipe). Passport cards can be obtained at any of them, or from the Cámara de Comercio (Chamber of Commerce) in the Plaza de Europa.
