The participants showed off their best skills in the kitchen in the traditional rice and rabbit contest that was held on the Paseo Ribereño
Some 50 clubs participated this Monday in Cieza in the traditional rice and rabbit contest that was held on the Paseo Ribereño, on the banks of the Segura, as part of the Patron Saint Festivities in honor of San Bartolomé. The participants showed off their best skills in the kitchen with the preparation of this dish, so characteristic of the Region of Murcia but that in Cieza acquires certain local touches such as incorporating mountain snails and rosemary from the Sierra del Picarcho.
The day, without excessive heat and in which the rain even made an appearance at times, was enlivened by the music of the brass bands and the dances of the youngest, who extended the party until late at night. The Cieza 2022 festivities enter their final stretch with acts such as the Ruta de la Tapa and the performance of the Bolero Jazz Band on Tuesday, and the procession with the image of the patron saint and the castle at the end of the festivities on Wednesday.
