Guía Repsol Adds 250+ Celebrity Picks to Soletes as Network Tops 5,500 Venues

More than 60 cultural figures named favourite local bars, chiringuitos and cafés to broaden visibility for small, affordable hospitality this summer.

Overview

  • The 15th Soletes edition was unveiled at a gala on Monday, June 22, when Guía Repsol added over 250 celebrity‑recommended sites and raised the national total to more than 5,500 recognised venues.
  • Over 60 personalities from film, music and television acted as special inspectors and publicly named chiringuitos, terraces, cafés and informal restaurants that make up a parallel 'Soletes de los famosos' list.
  • Soletes entries are sorted into six practical categories—bars; barras y tascas; cafeterías y pastelerías; restaurantes y casas de comidas; vinotecas; and coctelerías—to spotlight everyday, affordable hospitality rather than fine dining.
  • All new and existing Soletes can be consulted on Guía Repsol’s website and app, which let users geolocate venues, save favourites and map routes for summer visits.
  • The rollout highlights regional concentrations such as 17 celebrity‑chosen Soletes in Galicia and several in Euskadi, a focus that may help boost summer footfall and revenue for small, long‑running local businesses.
