Guardamar’s 15th Tapas with History Route to focus on James II
Participating restaurants will prepare tapas inspired by the monarch’s visit to the town in 1296.
The 15th Tapas with History Route in Guardamar del Segura will focus on James II of Aragon’s visit to the town in 1296. Participating venues will prepare tapas inspired by the episode, councillor Gisela Teva said in an interview published on 11 October 2026.
Guardamar Town Hall’s online portal lists a municipal procedure for the “15th Tapas with History 2026” edition. The route is now in its 15th year; the Town Hall dates its first edition to 2012.
The event is part of the local food calendar. Guardamar’s 2024–2027 Tourism Marketing Plan includes it among activities organised by the Tourism and Economic Development departments in collaboration with the Restaurateurs’ Association.
Each edition focuses on a different historical episode. In 2025, the route centred on the Azud and Molino de San Antonio and ran from 24 October to 2 November. That year, a tapa and a drink cost €3.50.
James II had featured in the route’s historical narrative before: in 2023, the Town Hall recalled his visit to Guardamar in 1296, although that year’s edition was dedicated to Alfonso XIII’s visit on 31 January 1923.
