On the eve of San Juan, the 23^rd June, a huge bonfire is held in this Saint’s honour and the people of Los Urrutias, along with any holidaymakers head for the beach for a long night of revelling.

Again, o­n 25^th July, the fiesta of Santiago, the main action is o­n the beach
as barbecues are held all through the night as people wait for dawn as the propitious time to uphold the custom of taking a swim.

Los Urrutias offers various services and amenities to all its residents and visitors, although these are more active and available in the summer months.

The city of Cartagena is a mere stone throw away and has everything any family could need the rest of the year.
