Toledo has not had a tradition of tapeo like other cities well defined and established for years. These days we are witnessing the birth of a new and interesting proposal, called ” El Barrio de los Conventos” , in which a group of hoteliers have joined together to promote a route that offers an ” innovative and varied offer for all tastes and within reach of all pockets” .
It is true that many and varied tapas and pinchos can be tasted in many bars, taverns and restaurants in Toledo, but to date there has not been a proposal organized for its promotion beyond the ” Jornadas de la Tapa” that are occasionally organized by the Toledo Hotel and Tourism Association.
This new gastronomic proposal, made by a group of establishments in the city, stands out for the tasting of some of the best wines in the land and a wide variety of original tapas, which involves a group of bars, wine bars, taverns and restaurants, located in an area with a significant concentration of convents, hence its name ” Convent District” .
It is an easily accessible area (it can be reached quickly from the escalators of the County Council) or from the city centre, traveled daily by hundreds of tourists, who can now taste a gastronomic offer, a passport that they can stamp for visiting establishments and with which they can get a gift when they get 6 stamps.
