DYNAMIC
The event will be held from June 10 to 19, 2022, in which a total of 27 establishments will participate, who will offer the public one or two tortilla options, with which they will later present themselves (if they wish) to the “Contest of Tortillas”:
- Traditional potato omelette: Basic ingredients: potato, egg, salt, olive oil and optional onion.
- Potato omelette “with….”: Based on a potato omelette, each establishment will add any type of ingredient it deems appropriate, in order to give its skewer a touch of originality and flavour.
The Hospitality Association has published displays, flyers and posters listing the establishments and their address, so that those who go to taste the pinchos can create their own routes. They will be distributed in all participating establishments, shops and tourist offices.
The participating establishments, distributed throughout Navarra, are from the following towns: Pamplona, Ayegui, Berriozar, Cizur Menor, Larraga and Tudela.
As in the previous edition, the website www.tortillanavarra.com has the information of the participants, the tortilla pinchos and the location of the establishment.
On the other hand, from the social networks everything that happens about the Navarre Tortilla Week (news, anecdotes, photos of the participating skewers) is energized and communicated and you can follow the news with the hashtag #TortillaNavarra2022 on the pages of :

POTATO OMELETTE: NAVARRE ORIGIN
The first known document in which a reference to the potato omelette appears is from Navarre. It is an anonymous “mousetrap memorial”, addressed to the Cortes of Navarra in 1817. It explains the foods eaten by farmers and the basic ingredients of the potato omelette appear: eggs, potato and oil.
Legend has it that it was General Tomás de Zumalacárregui who popularized the potato omelette as a simple, quick and nutritious dish with which to satisfy the appetite of his troops.
This version of the legend states that a Navarran housewife invented the potato omelette, in whose home the aforementioned Zumalacárregui stayed. The lady, from a humble family, made a scrambled egg with the only food she had, which was eggs, onions and potatoes. In this way, and by chance, he created the potato omelette, which the general liked very much and would later make it popular among his army.
