This June 15, World Tapas Day is celebrated, one of the maxims of identity of Iberian gastronomy, which has been reversed throughout the world. Here is a tour of restaurants and tapas, from the most traditional to the most risky when it comes to introducing new ingredients in the preparation.

In the basement of the Hotel Pulitzer Buenos Aires, a bar has just been inaugurated that is ideal for the Buenos Aires after office. A place that captivates with an intimate and elegant aesthetic and invites you to share tapas and signature cocktails. With a visible Spanish imprint and flavors from other world cuisines, the menu offers smoked prawns with strawberries and a special marinade; a potato waffle with sweet-spicy tomato sauce (in homage to the classic papas bravas); a loin tataki with vermouth; and a house-cured salmon with cucumber relish and wasabi mayonnaise; among other tempting options.

On the gastronomic walk there is a wide variety of proposals for lovers of gastronomy. Among the different places is Pampanada, specialized in skewers and tapas made with carefully selected local ingredients.
