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.
