The deputy mayor of the Sociocultural area, Begoña Ortiz, and the councilor attached to the municipal delegation of Culture and Festivals, Macarena Diánez, have presented today a new edition of 'Estepona, Live its Streets', an event that aims to celebrate cultural and leisure activities for all types of public in different parts of the city, so that residents and tourists can enjoy the urban area even more.
The municipal managers have reported the program of activities that will take place on March 24, 25 and 26, including the XII Ruta de la Tapa that will be held during these three days and in which about twenty establishments will participate. In addition, as in the last edition, a tapa and beer, soft drink or water will be offered for 2 euros or a tapa and wine for 3 euros.
People who take this gastronomic tour can pick up their passport at the Tourist Office or at the Padre Manuel Cultural Center. In this way, they will be able to receive in the different bars and restaurants the five necessary stamps to vote for the best tapa. A prize of 1,000 euros will be awarded to the 'Best Tapa' and a raffle for 100 gifts will be held among the citizens who participate with their vote. Among the prizes that will be raffled are hotel nights, concert tickets, electric scooters or gastronomic experiences, among others.
Likewise, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Terraza Street will host the VIII 'Popi, Sabor a Málaga' Cheese Fair. On the other hand, on Sunday, from 12:00 to 16:00, Calle Real will be the setting for the XIII National Ham Cutters Contest 'Popi Trophy, City of Estepona'.
