La Tapa Orgullosa, meaning The Proud Tapa, will take place in Lanzarote’s capital Arrecife during the whole month of August, 2026. This year is this original tapas’ route 3rd edition.
It’s a unique gastronomic route where the best bars, restaurants and cafés are filled with diversity, creativity and social commitment. Each of the 13 participating establishment will offer its own creation: an exclusive tapa that celebrates freedom, human rights and the visibility of the LGTBI+ community.

I think it’s a brilliant and creative idea. And as usual, the perfect excuse for a stroll around the streets of Arrecife discovering new establishments & revisiting the ones you already know.
