A celebration of flavour in Rivas-Vaciamadrid
The municipality of Rivas-Vaciamadrid is preparing for an event that will delight lovers of Spanish cuisine. During the weekends of 14, 15, 21 and 22 March, the III Croquette Route will take place, an initiative that promises to make croquettes the true stars of the month.
This event will allow attendees to explore a wide variety of local bars and restaurants, where they can taste two croquettes or a large croquette along with a drink for an accessible price of 3.75 euros. Notable participating establishments include names like Al Punto, La Gran Vía, and Atlantika, among others. It is important to note that some venues will only be available on Saturdays, so it is recommended to check schedules before embarking on the route.
The route will take place during aperitif hours, approximately between 12:00 and 14:00 hours. The organisers, Vecinos por Rivas Vaciamadrid, suggest that participants plan their visit in advance so as not to miss any culinary offerings. With this activity, the aim is not only to promote local consumption but also to encourage shared enjoyment among neighbours and visitors.
In addition to tasting delicious croquettes, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in online voting to rate the different versions of the dish. Through QR codes available at each establishment and on social media, they will be able to access a form to express their opinion. Furthermore, those who participate in this voting will enter a draw for dinners valued at 100 euros at restaurants like Al Punto and El Vallina.
There will not only be prizes for voting; there will also be draws among those who share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #rutacroquetarivas2026. Among these prizes are two draws of 50 euros, thus encouraging greater interaction during the event.
To further enhance the gastronomic experience, an interactive map based on Google Maps has been created to locate all participating venues. This tool will be invaluable for those who wish to maximise their route and try as many croquettes as possible.
