Istán invites you on May 23 to enjoy oranges and tapas. The town will be doubly celebrating this Saturday, as it organizes the 30th Gastronomic Show and Orange Day, marking its 30th edition, and also the 17th Tapa Route.

As every year, the locals will prepare traditional recipes with natural orange juice which can be tasted from two in the afternoon at the Marbella street viewpoint. Among others, samples of a menu consisting of corn soup, cod pancakes, and meat with tomato will be offered for free, plus dessert: rice pudding and the traditional zahínas, all accompanied by natural orange juice. To contribute to the festive character, the bands Los Canchos de Istán and No ni Ná will perform throughout the day, declared of Provincial Touristic Interest by the Provincial Council, both through the streets and in the participating restaurants on the route.

The Tapa Route will feature eight establishments, which are: Hotel Altos Istán, Miguel Tapas y Vinos, Restaurante Istán Plaza, Bar La Parada, Restaurante Nuevo Entresierras, Pan8s Café Bar, Hotel Los Jarales, and Restaurante Raíces. The schedule to taste their offerings, which will cost 3 euros (drink included), will be from twelve noon to five in the afternoon. The attending public can fill out their Tapaporte to participate in a raffle that will draw gifts donated by local businesses once the Route's schedule is concluded.

As the end of the party, from 7:30 pm there will be live music in the town square, featuring performances by ÑClan and Los Güichis.
