These establishments are Gastrobar Cañarejo, Cervecería Las Columnas, the Parador hotel, Restaurante Caballerizas del Castillo in Lorca castle, Tres by Keki, Taberna La Cepa, Mesón Lorquino, Restaurante Paredes, La Mafia se Sienta a la Mesa, Asador Murciano, Pizzería D’Antojo, La Alacena de Braulio, Temperato Felice Gelato, Restaurante Los Cazorlos, Bar España, Phelans Irish Pub, El Parloteo, Restaurante Polonia, Venta Cristóbal, Axo Restaurante, Mirrin, Escuela de Hostelería ÍES San Juan Bosco, Cafetería Expresso, Chiringuito Marinero, Restaurante La Peña, Asador La Negrita, Cuatro Bellotas, Restaurante La Copla and Casa Roberto.
