The Councillor of Tourism, Francisco in April, and the president of the Association of Innkeepers, Christopher Garcia, took stock of the third edition of the Ruta de la Tapa, concluding that it has been "an unprecedented success and what we have experienced this year. "
And the results speak for themselves.
About 170,000 and 30,000 tapas cocktails are served in bars, restaurants, cafes and pubs Cehegín, representing nearly 67 million pesetas.
Without going any further, the Office of Tourism has assisted more than 4,800 people during that month, experiencing a large increase from the previous edition.
Francisco Abril explained that "these figures refer only to the skewers and served combined, making it difficult to quantify the total revenue this year", while adding that "people who have made the route have also made other expenses these facilities and even accommodation in the town, so we can say that the route has moved about 100 million pesetas. "
Without doubt, the chefs have saved more than the lowest month for their sector, such as January and February, especially in these times of crisis.
