June 7 to 9 Rojo & Red gastronomy festival in Mazarron

The focus of the Mazarrón foodie fest is on local ingredients and Colombian cooking

The “Rojo & Red” gastronomic festival is being held on the seafront promenade Paseo Agustín Herrerín in Puerto de Mazarrón on 7th, 8th and 9th July, featuring not only culinary treats but also live music and workshops for all ages between 12.00 and 16.00 and from 20.00 to midnight.
