Mazarrón’s annual Fiestas Patronales takes place between 1st and 10th December to honour the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, and celebrate Constitution Day.
There’s a tapas route coinciding with the fiesta, where you will be issued with a passport to be stamped by six of the participating establishments. Your passport must be deposited in the urn inside the indoor market by 13:00 on 10th December in order to be eligible to enter the prize draw taking place later that day.
Each tapa is priced at either 2 or 2,50 euros, and includes a glass of beer or a soft drink. Those participating in this year’s tapas route are La Taberna, Cafetería La Fundición, Restaurante Guillermo, Hotel Costa, El Pilón, Descuadre, D’Pintxos, Bar Toni and Bar Miguel.
