While last Thursday, September 4, La Elipa kicked off a new edition of its Tapas Route, Carabanchel did the same with the ‘Ven a Vivirlo’ Tapas Route, which will still be celebrated for another week -until Sunday, September 14- with a third and a tapa for only 4 €.
The event, promoted by Hostelería Madrid and Mahou San Miguel with the support of the City Council of the capital, involves more than 10 establishments in this district of southern Madrid offering exclusive tapas for the occasion, accompanied by a third of Mahou.
The Councilor Delegate of Tourism, Almudena Maíllo, points out as a value of this gastronomic event that contributes to “the decentralization of tourism, distributing the positive impact of the activity throughout the city and putting in value the gastronomic talent”.
