The gastronomic initiative, aiming to establish Leganés as a culinary benchmark, will feature a wide array of creative tapas. Mayor Miguel Ángel Recuenco has highlighted the event's importance for the city's life.
Among the culinary proposals are creations such as 'tempura piparra on a bed of cod brandada', 'carabinero and eel salad', or 'smoked sardine on piquillo pepper confit', among many others.
Attendees can sample these tapas for a single price of 2.50 euros (drink not included) and participate in online voting to choose their favorite. Over 2,500 euros in prizes will be awarded, including a gastronomic getaway, gourmet hampers, and dinners.
“"Those who participate in the voting can opt for over 2,500 euros in prizes, including a weekend gastronomic getaway for two with spa and winery visit; three gourmet hampers from Cristina Oria; and ten dinners for two valued at 100 euros to enjoy at participating establishments."
As a novelty, the establishment winning 'Best Tapas of Leganés 2026' will receive a kitchen robot. Additionally, a free tourist train will operate to facilitate access to participating venues in different city areas during the event weekends.
The Tapas Route, revived in 2023 after a five-year hiatus, invites residents to 'Taste, enjoy, vote, and win,' encouraging the discovery of new establishments and support for local hospitality.
