The 11th A Pobra do Brollón Tapas Competition begins on the last Friday of November. This year, seven establishments are participating; four bars in the capital (O Pirata, Avenida, La Vieja Taberna, 1º de Maio), two in Salcedo (A Cantina de Julia, A Salanova) and one in Cereixa (O Fogón).
‘This is an initiative already consolidated in our council that allows us to boost the Guimaras hospitality industry by encouraging residents and visitors to participate with their votes,’ says Mónica Rodríguez, the councilor for events. ‘In addition, the Tapas Competition coincides with the December long weekend and connects directly with the Cantos de Taberna on Saturday, December 7, so we hope that participation will be maximum.’
From November 29 to December 6, establishments will offer their tapas at a price of €1.50 for tasting and evaluation by consumers. They are the ones who make up the popular jury that, with their votes, choose the best tapas for the delivery of the first, second and third prizes. The promotion of wines from the Ribeira Sacra will be positively valued in the decision of the awards.
Among all those who voted, a gift will be raffled that will consist of a thermal circuit and a night for two people at the Hotel Oca Augas Santas in Ferreira de Pantón. The awards and the gift will be given on January 5 at the Casa da Cultura ‘Olga Novo’ as part of the Three Kings events.
