On the 28th and 29th, light show 'The Soul of the Sea'

The City Council's Economic Promotion Department, promoter of the Ruta de les Tapas, is adding a new attraction this year that will complete the gastronomic and wine offer. It is a light and sound show that will take place on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 March. Under the name 'L'ànima del mar' , and using rays of light and projections, the public will be able to attend a show created especially for the occasion, where images will be presented that will highlight the maritime environment of Roses, the world of fishing and its local produce.

The projections will be made over the sea, between the two breakwaters of the Riera Ginjolers . The recommended place for viewing is the esplanade at the end of the Ginjolers boulevard, where the Ziggurat sculpture is located. It can be seen between 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. , both Friday and Saturday, with passes every 30 minutes.

An app with geolocation so you don't miss anything on the Route

This year, the Route is launching a new mobile application that will allow the audience to quickly and intuitively access all the information they need to make the most of the experience: a list of establishments with geolocation, opening times, photographs of each tapa, adapted establishments, etc. In addition, the new app will also simplify the voting system for the best tapas thanks to QR technology. To use the new app , you must first uninstall the previous Ruta de les Tapas application and then download the new one, which is already available in the different stores for both Android and iOS.

Awards for the best cover and the audience

As in previous editions, the audience will be able to participate (through a ballot or via app ) in the contest to choose the best tapa of the campaign . To be eligible for the prizes, you must taste 9 different tapas and vote for your favorite tapa. Among all participants, 5 prizes will be drawn consisting of a 'Tapes Passport', a nominal voucher that will allow its holder to enjoy all the tapas of the 2026 edition of the Route for free. In addition to the winner by popular vote, a professional jury will also vote for their winning tapa.
