The Degusta.me Adeje Tapas Route is back, giving food lovers ten days to work their way around 14 local establishments, sampling specially created dishes for just €3 each.
Running from 6 to 15 November, the event covers several areas of the municipality, including Adeje Casco, Las Torres, Los Olivos, Las Nieves, La Postura and El Galeón.
