Are you in Altafulla and want to try the most haunted recipes of this area? You can do it thanks to The Xoixeta. Tapes Bruixes Altafulla .

This gastronomic tapas route consists of a contest of recipes inspired by the popular witch of Altafulla, La Xoixeta. This initiative began in 2016 and this year is expected with more enthusiasm than ever since last year increased the participating bars and restaurants. And this year will not be less! From April 13 to 29.

So come to Altafulla, discover its gastronomy.

What does it consist of?

In this event the bars and restaurants of Altafulla use local products to prepare incredible tapas that will surprise the most demanding palates.

The theme must be related to the local tradition and its witch, La Xoixeta. For this reason, many of the tapas participating in this event bear curious names that at the same time describe the dishes presented. Last year, for example, names like “La bomba de foc” (the fire bomb) or “Les ales que la bruixa voldria” (the wings that the witch would like) could be seen.

In addition, you will be able to see La Xoixeta interacting with people in the streets and providing invitations to taste the tapas of the participating restaurants. He will also visit the participating restaurants every Friday during the exhibition.

At the end of this festival, the tapa that reaches the highest number of votes will be the winner. Thus, the establishment corresponding to that tapa will receive a reminder recognition from the organization as the winner of this year’s edition.

How to participate?

In order to participate, the diners of this route will have to pick up a booklet of the event. In it, each participating establishment will put a stamp if they consume the corresponding tapa.

Once all the stamps have been obtained, they will be able to go to the tourist office of the Town Hall to get the last stamp. With this they will have the right to vote for the tapa they liked the most, they will receive a small gift and will be entered into a drawing for a special prize.

But don’t worry, the tapas have a very affordable price. So you can enjoy all of them without affecting your pocket.

Our proposal: La Carbassa embruixada (The bewitched Carbassa)
