How can you join the food route and the shared meals?

The food route runs from 2 to 4 October, with 11 neighbourhood businesses offering a tapa prepared for the occasion. The route passport gives a stamp for each tapa; collecting 8 stamps from different businesses lets you qualify for a voucher redeemable for a drink at the Patraix neighbourhood association (Associació Veïnal de Patraix).

The paella gathering includes a giant paella for tasting, for which you must get a ticket beforehand, and Monday 12's distribution of arròs amb fessols i naps also needs a ticket. Tickets are requested at that same association.
