The new edition, which will bring together the best chefs and bartenders on the island, will hold the tapas and cocktails contest on 25th November at the Palau de Congressos de Palma while the culinary and cocktail route will take place from 27th November until 1st December through the city. This year’s edition is full of new features, among which is the new image of the event – where the protagonist is a human heart which has been bitten and pinned.

The champion of ‘Pinchos y Tapas’ Spain, Igor Rodríguez, will also preside over the jury of the chefs. He explained that “with TaPalma, we want to show the great professionals and gastronomic artists we have. In addition, regional television channel IB3 will broadcast the contest live on 25th November from 16:00 p.m. to 20:00.

“Gastronomy and cocktails is something that is done with the heart, from the depths of our being. It implies passion and emotion and being very visceral.” says Antoni Martorell, General director of AgenciaCom. Bringing Food Lovers together in Palma. With this gastronomic event, the organisers aim to extend the season by attracting people to Palma’s restaurants. Not only the local public, but also tourists.

The goal is to revitalise the city for a few days. But also to position Mallorca, and very specifically its capital, as a focal point of Spanish gastronomy. TaPalma each year offers new features and surprises, with a single objective. Increasing the number of visitors, as well as the quality and professionalism of the tapas and cocktails presented. The purpose of the tapas festival is to continue supporting a vital sector in the daily economic activity.
