Petanca is the order of the day at the weekend as Nerja plays host to the Campeonato de España Juvenil Masculino (Junior Male Championship of Spain) and the Campeonato de España Absoluto 2a (Absolute Championship of Spain category 2a).
Although there are petanca courts in Parque Verano Azul and elsewhere, the action will actually take place at El Playazo beach due to the fact that it is necessary to be using 30 courts simultaneously. Stands for the spectators are currently being erected.
Friday is the official reception and the draw for the various competitions and all the action takes place on Saturday and Sunday. A total of 240 players will be taking part in the championships.
