SPANISH TOURIST OFFICE LAUNCHES WEEK-LONG ‘SPANISH TAPAS TOUR’

SPANISH TOURIST OFFICE LAUNCHES WEEK-LONG ‘SPANISH TAPAS TOUR’
Monday 12th to Sunday 18th June

In celebration of the much awaited World #TapasDay The Spanish Tourist Office (STO) in partnership with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, is bringing a taste of Spain to Londoners this June, with a week-long Spanish Tapas Tour extravaganza and a competition to win a gastronomic trip for two to the Andalusian tapas capital of Granada. 18 Spanish restaurants in London will be taking part in the event, each offering their own mouthwatering Tapa with participating restaurants offering an exclusive tapa-and-drink offer for only £7.50. To take part in the event all you need to do is present a specially designed ‘Tapas Tour Passport’, available at any of the participating restaurants or via download from the official Spanish Tourist Board website, which resturants will stamp to say you’ve taken part, with 4 or more stamps allowing you to enter the competition by voting for your favorite choice.
