Erotic Tapas Route in Fuengirola 2023

On the 24th February 2023, our neighbouring town of Fuengirola kicks off the 13th edition of the “Ruta de la Tapa Erótica” (Erotic Tapas Route), a fun and original idea which, since the first edition, has become a reference all over Spain. 

It’s been a couple of years since Fuengirola last hosted this Tapas Route and we’re looking forward to enjoying some interesting and creative tapas over the next few weeks.

Up until the 13th March, visitors to Fuengirola will be able to enjoy this traditional Spanish snack, with a slightly “spicy” touch. All establishments that take part, will prepare a sensual and fun tapa, with creativity and flair being the main ingredients. Some of the participating establishments will also be offering special ‘gluten-free’, sweet or vegetarian tapas.

Anyone who visits one of the participating restaurants or bars will be able to sample one of these “erotic” tapas and a cool beer (or glass of wine) for a – very reasonable – €3.50. If you choose one of the sweet dessert tapas available in some establishments,  you can choose to accompany it with a coffee, tea or sweet wine.

This year the traditional “Tapaporte” (special tapas passport) which gives you the chance to win great prizes, will once again be a virtual version. Participants must scan the QR codes found on the promotional posters for the event (see below). Once the code has been scanned, a registration form will appear which must be filled in in order to access the ‘Digital Tapaporte’. Once this has been filled in an email will be sent to confirm registration and thereby allow the user to take participate.

As participants try the different tapas in participating establishments their waiter will show them a QR code for that specific tapa which will serve as a virtual stamp. Scanning the code will allow the user to score the tapa on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. The aim of the competition is to complete the passport with the stamps of 5 different establishments and be eligible to take part in the prize draw. 

When you take part you’ll also receive a unique code which can be redeemed for a surprise gift at the Fuengirola Tourist Office from Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 6:00pm, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

As we mentioned above, if you complete your virtual passport with 5 virtual stamps you will be entered into the fantastic prize draw. We still haven’t received confirmation of the exact prizes up for grabs but if the last event is anything to go by, they will be amazing! We’ll be sure to post them as soon as we have the details.
