Inscription is free and open until Thursday 29th October and every competitor will need to present their tortillas at the El Corte Inglés store Centro Commercial Siete Palmas in Gran Canaria from 16:30 – 17:30 on Saturday 31st October.

A jury will then decide which are the best five tortillas entered, those finalists must then cook a new tortilla live at the event but this time a standard one containing only eggs, potatoes, oil and salt with an option of onion if desired – all ingredients and facilities will be provided, you don’t need to bring your own equipment.

The winner of the cook off will receive a store card with €300 to spend and the finalists will receive kitchen household gifts.
