January 17 Enjoy the traditional chicken and turkey meatballs of Pozo Estrecho

Pozo Estrecho celebrates its fiestas in honour of San Fulgencio by handing out thousands of ‘pelotas galileas’, the typical local delicacy

The town of Pozo Estrecho, between Cartagena and the Mar Menor, is holding its annual patron saint fiestas in honour of San Fulgencio until Saturday January 17, with the last day being reserved for the traditional serving of free (and delicious!) "pelotas gaflileas" in a tasty chicken and turkey broth.

The day also includes a series of workshops for adults, while at the same time the children can learn how to prepare the "pelotas" themselves. 

Competitions and official presentations follow before the warming lunch is served at the Huerto de Paco Saura fairground, and the event usually attracts thousands of people - indeed it has been awarded Regional Tourist Interest status as one of the tastiest fiestas in Murcia!

To make life easier for visitors (and to avoid difficulty in parking) a special bus service is being run from Cartagena with 130 places available on coaches leaving from Paseo Alfonso XIII at 10.30 and on the return journey at 16.30. Prior booking for this shuttle service is necessary here and more coaches may be hired if there is sufficient demand.

Authenticity, taste and tradition at La Palmera Bar and Grill in Estrella De Mar, Murcia

La Palmera Bar & Grill is the place to enjoy smoky barbecue flavours in a lively, welcoming setting.

 

Guests can take advantage of free parking and a spacious outdoor dining area, perfect for al fresco meals. Inside, there’s a pool table, multiple TVs and a regular programme of events and promotions.

 

The venue also caters for celebrations and private hire, making special occasions memorable. For something more relaxed, the daily bowls green is always open for a friendly game.

 

No wonder La Palmera has become a favourite spot for both locals and visitors.

 

Opening hours & weekly highlights

 

• All-day breakfast served Monday-Saturday from 10am (no breakfast on Sundays)
• Daily menu served from 12 midday until 9pm
• Three courses for €10, Tuesday to Friday
• Saturday sharing platter specials from €20
• Sunday roasts from €9.95, served from 1pm to 5pm

 

Sunday roasts

Sundays at La Palmera are all about those incredible smoked roast boards that have become the stuff of local legend. The kitchen team slow-smokes succulent beef brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs and tender chicken, then serves it all up on sharing platters alongside perfectly roasted potatoes and vegetables, fluffy Yorkshire puddings and rich Guinness gravy.

The boards come in three sizes: the 2 Bob Board at €33, the 3 Bob Board at €45 or go all out with the 4 Bob Board at €60.

 

Regular live entertainment

La Palmera knows how to keep the party going with their fantastic line-up of regular entertainment. You'll find silent discos where you can dance the night away to your own beat, live music that gets everyone singing along, and dance classes that are guaranteed to have you laughing and moving (even if you've got two left feet).

But the real highlight has to be Quingo every Tuesday. It's competitive, hilarious and the perfect way to test your knowledge while having a proper laugh with friends.
