Every Thursday in the 51 bars and restaurants in the Sant Andreu Region of Barcelona open their doors as part of the Tapas Route; ‘Atrapa la Tapa’. The event take place between 7pm and 11pm every week until the end of December. During this period visitors will be entitled to the unbeatable and exclusive Atrapa la Tapa price of 1,95€ for a tapas portion served with either a water, small beer or glass of wine.
