The director of the Tourism Institute highlighted the importance that this event has for the hospitality and tourism sector, defining it as "a must for regional cuisine."

"The route is a perfect shuttle to promote the participating businesses and the cuisine of the Northwest, and also to retain many visitors during these days, which surely repeat during other times of the year," he said.

Martínez highlighted the regional government's commitment to this type of initiatives and the support for its promotion and dissemination, "even more so during this year in which Murcia and the entire Region take the witness as the Spanish capital of gastronomy," he said.

Complementary activities

Juan Francisco Martínez also celebrated the success of the tourist visits that have been programmed in a complementary way to this edition of the Cehegín Tapas Route, experiences designed to offer added value to the event.
