How much is a tapa in Adeje and until when does the route run?
The Degústa.me Adeje Tapas Route runs from 6 to 15 November 2026 and is in full swing on Tuesday 10 November. The last day is Sunday 15 November, so anyone who wants to join has until the weekend.
A tapa costs €3, as the announcement says in its headline and web address. The text gives 4 for a tapa with a drink, but with a pound sign, which is clearly a mistake.
Last year a tapa cost 3 euros according to the organisers, and 4 euros with a drink (wine, beer, water or a soft drink), including IGIC, the Canary Islands sales tax. A price rise is not documented, because the 2023 prices were also 3 and 4 euros according to the figures given then.
The 14 venues are spread across six districts: Adeje Casco, Las Torres, Los Olivos, Las Nieves, La Postura and El Galeón. The announcement gave no street addresses, so visitors should check the official site, the official website.
How does the free train between the venues work?
According to the announcement, the train runs from 18:00 to 22:00 and calls at six stops. A GPS tracker shows its position in real time, which helps visitors plan their stops.
Adeje town hall (Ayuntamiento) offers the service free of charge. The announcement gave no stop names, frequency or start date, and it is unclear whether the train runs on all ten days.
The train is not new, as the 2023 edition introduced it with six stops. It ran from 18:00 to 21:00 then, so the 2026 timetable is an hour longer.
According to the organisers, the 2025 route began at the football pitch and ended at the centro de salud (health centre). In between, the train stopped at Centro Comercial Galeón, Iglesia Los Olivos, La Viña and the centro cultural (cultural centre).
On Saturday 8 November 2025, no train, bus or taxi ran for organisational reasons. On the Morat concert days, 7 and 9 November 2025, the train started from Av. Rosa de los Vientos in El Galeón.
Which tapas do the 14 venues serve?
Each of the 14 venues serves one tapa created especially for the route. The announcement did not list ingredients or allergens, so anyone with an intolerance should ask at the venue.
Four of the venues are Talent, Burro y Salvia, Sapori Di Grano and Restaurante Don Esteban. They serve L'oro del mediterráneo italiano, a sándwich de lubina (sea bass sandwich), a Focaccia Romana and the Ceviche Don Esteban.
Four more participants are Cervecería Polar, Tasca El Cañón, Edén Empanadas Artesanales and Naia Cafetería Crepería. Their tapas are called Esencia canaria, Alma de lava, Chiquero canario and Lava y Oro.
Restaurante La Placita, Vermutería La Isa, Cafetería Tik Tak and La Fonda Central form the third group. Their menus list Mi delicia tropical, Bocado de perla, Sublime and Dulce tradición Fonda.
The last two venues are Taskita Juanito and Pica Pica La Favorita. They serve Empanadita La Taskita and Flor del Atlántico.
What can you win and how do you take part?
The top prize is two nights for two adults in a four-star hotel with all-inclusive board. It comes with a lunch or dinner at the venue with the Gold tapa, while further hotel stays and meals go with Silver, Bronze and the professional award.
How the public can take part in 2026 is not confirmed.
In 2025, guests collected stamps in the venues using a QR code or a paper flyer, and after four valid votes they entered the prize draw automatically. Voting ran through the web app the official website, and whether that stays the same in 2026 is open.
The categories are Special Professional Tapas, Gold, Silver and Bronze Tapas. No jury or prize money has been published for 2026; in 2025 the programme listed 300 euros for Gold, 200 for Silver, 100 for Bronze and 300 for the professional tapa.
Under the 2024 terms and conditions, venues must serve their registered tapa on all days of the event. Those that do not can be barred from the next edition and from the expert jury, though the 2026 rules may differ.
How does the 2026 route compare with earlier years?
In 2025, 17 venues took part and sold more than 6,000 tapas, according to the organisers. The route ran from 7 to 16 November 2025 in the Zona Comercial Abierta (open shopping area) of Adeje Centro, and guests cast 1,368 votes.
With 14 venues, the 2026 edition is below the 17 of 2025 and the 15 of 2023. No figure turned up for 2024, and no official town hall statement on 2026 was available.
Saikou took Gold in 2025 with the tapa La ola marinera, which won 287 of the 1,368 votes. Pica Pica La Favorita won Silver and the professional award, La Tasquita de Adeje took Bronze, and Pica Pica is back in 2026.
The town hall organised the 2025 route through its economic development and employment department, with the business association AECPA and the Hovima group. The awards ceremony took place on 20 November 2025 at the Centro de Desarrollo Turístico Costa Adeje.
When are the winners known and what is still open?
The route ends on Sunday 15 November 2026. No date for the 2026 awards ceremony is known yet; last year it took place on 20 November.
Also open are the train stops, the price of a tapa with a drink in euros and how to enter the prize draw. The official site the official website has sections for these, such as Sigue al tren (follow the train) and Horarios (times), but they did not load during research.
