If you like a good tapas crawl, put this one in your diary: the QuintoTapa Km0 is back in El Prat de Llobregat from 8 October to 1 November 2026. It is the 19th edition and the biggest yet: 33 bars and restaurants and 60 tapas made with local produce, each served with a quinto (a small 20 cl bottle) of Estrella Damm for €4 or €4.50.
El Prat is a short train or metro ride from Barcelona, and this is a great way to discover the food of the Llobregat delta for very little money.

What is the QuintoTapa Km0
It is El Prat’s tapas route: you go from bar to bar and order one tapa and one quinto at each. It has been organised since the first edition by El Prat City Council and the Asociación de Gastronomía y Turismo (AGT), and this year the Gremi de Restauradors del Prat and Estrella Damm join in. The brewery is celebrating 150 years and its main factory is in El Prat.
The Km0 in the name says it all: the tapas are made with seasonal, local produce, mostly from the Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat.
Prices from €4 to €4.50
- House tapa + beer: €4. Each bar’s own creation.
- Pota Blava tapa + beer: €4.50. Starring the local Prat chicken.
- Km0 tapa + beer: €4.50. With vegetables and produce from the Parc Agrari.
The beer can be Estrella Damm or, if you prefer alcohol-free, Free Damm Tostada.
Pota Blava chicken, in half of the 60 tapas
Pota Blava (“blue leg”) is the Prat breed of chicken, raised in the delta and famous for the bluish colour of its legs. It turns up in about half of the tapas, in all sorts of forms: bao buns, arepas, gyozas, fritters, chicken wings and Russian salad.
The rest of the tapas use produce from the Parc Agrari: pumpkin, carrot, escalivada, potato, artichoke and Prat tomatoes, plus farm eggs and even vermouth made in El Prat.
A few tapas on my list
- Ou yeah! at El Bar de la Capsa: a fritter filled with Pota Blava.
- Aletes de Pota Blava amb mel i mostassa at La Ricardeta: chicken wings with honey and mustard.
- Caracoles del Mingote at Café Bar Mingote, with artichoke.
- La Flamenca at Casa Anita, with eggs from Granja Torres.
- VermuTaco at La nueva primavera: pulled pork taco with El Prat vermouth.
- Albergínia en pa de coca at Lola’s Brunch: aubergine on coca bread with yoghurt sauce and honey.

My tip: keep your receipts, as the organisers may ask for them to check you did the route.
How to get to El Prat from Barcelona
- By Rodalies train: the R2 stops at El Prat de Llobregat station.
- By metro: L9 Sud has stops in town, such as El Prat Estació and Cèntric.
If you are going as a group and want to make several stops, the train is the easiest option: nobody has to drive after the beers.
And between tapas, El Prat
The organisers suggest using the route to discover the town: the Espais Naturals del Riu, the Mirador dels Flamencs flamingo viewpoint, the Can Camins pine wood, the Carrabiners, the Semàfor, the Parc Agrari and El Prat beach. A lovely Sunday plan: a walk in the delta in the morning and tapas at lunchtime.
If you want more, here is where to eat well and cheaply in Barcelona, my favourite neighbourhood bodegas and my guide to Barcelona in October. And on 31 October, just before the route ends, comes the Castanyada.
