“Bocata” is the Spanish slang for “bocadillo” and “butty” would be the closest in English. In this gastronomic proposal they actually range from sandwiches, rolls to even burger buns!
The principle of the tour is simple: the 12 different participating “bocatas” are priced between €5.50 and €12, including at least one ingredient produced locally. The price of the “bocata” includes also a drink but to avoid disappointments or misunderstandings, ask the staff of each establishment what the options are when ordering.
The idea behind this gastronomic tour of it is to promote both the establishments and the local produce in the area.
