How does the Tapa Route work?

The concept is simple and fun

Each participating restaurant offers a specially composed tapa along with a drink (usually beer, wine or soft drink) at a reasonable price.
You can pick up a stamp card (often called a "tapaporte") where you collect stamps from the different places you visit at the Nerja tourist office (opposite the Ayuntamiento town hall, between the Balcony of Europe and Plaza Espana), or at the restaurant you visit.
Visit as many restaurants as you want among the competing ones, taste their tapas and collect stamps. Once you have collected a certain number, you can enter raffles and win great prizes!
