Denia Is One of Spain’s Best Tapas Routes for Foodies, Denia, Spain (B)

When it comes to Spain’s best tapas routes, throw out any foreign notions of bar-hopping and wondering what will ruin your gut first – the drinks or the food. Spain means business when it comes to eating and drinking well, even down to their tapas and bar drinks. And is it any wonder? We’ve found the Spaniards to be classy and so is their food. So when we heard about Denia’s Ruta de Tapas, we jumped right on board, lined up some friends and headed out with an appetite. We were pleasantly surprised all along the way.

Simply put, it’s a foodie’s idea of a bar crawl, but for days on end and way more delicious! Tapas in Spain are already inexpensive, but oh-so delicious, and when it’s a route, it’s a simple done deal – you pay one jaw-dropping cheap price and get your tapa and a drink too! In many cases, like the Denia’s Ruta de Tapas, you also get to vote on your favorite tapas and enter the sweepstakes to win a big prize.

Here in Denia, this is how it goes – at each location it’s only €3 for the featured tapa and choice of a caña (small beer) or copa de vino, tinto o blanco (glass of wine, red or white). What a deal, huh! And these tapas aren’t just tiny one-biters either; they’re a good size. Certain places even allowed you to choose their vermut casero (house made vermouth) in place of the typical beer or wine. We’ll make sure to point those places out below. ......
