What is Ruta de la Tapa?
This is the first annual Ruta de la Tapa for Torrenueva Costa, so please get out and support the community. This will help promote the town as well as the local businesses.
This event includes local restaurants, that opt to participate in the Ruta de la Tapa. Each participating restaurant will offer a special tapa for 1,50€.
When the final list of restaurant participants and their special offers is determined, the Town Hall produces a special map. This map will show the location of each restaurant, as well as a photo and description of the tapa they will offer. Once you have ordered your tapa, that particular restaurant will stamp your “tapa passport” to show you were there. We all try our best to fill up our passports.
When all is said and done, you then fill in your personal details on your tapa passport and rate your favorite locations/tapas. The votes are all tallied and the winning restaurants are announced! You must have consumed a minimum of 5 tapas locations for your vote to count.

Recipes
Spanish Recipes – Maria’s Tinto de Verano
Maria’s Tinto de Verano is the perfect refreshment for those hot summer days. Shhh, don’t tell, but we love them year-round! Tinto de Verano is a refreshing chilled wine-based cocktail, which literally translates as summer red wine. It is very similar to the popular Sangria but much easier to make. View the recipe here.
Spanish Recipes – Ñoquis Con Chipirones (Gnocchi with baby squid)
This recipe for Ñoquis Con Chipirones, is brought to you by Elle from Spain Buddy. Since moving to Spain in 2006, I have thrown myself headfirst into Spanish cuisine. Initially, I was happy just to eat it, but as time went on I wanted to be able to recreate those experiences at home.
