El Espinardo can be explored through three distinct themes: brewing history, Baroque heritage and a green space where trial biking also plays a role. Fábrica Estrella de Levante connects its history with a visitor experience that includes a tasting; Jardín de Tirocosa represents green space and trial biking facilities. These are complemented by historic buildings and annual patron saint festivities in honor of Saint Peter. When planning your visit, it is worth distinguishing between a bookable tour, the architectural heritage and a festival program tied to specific dates.

Brewing History and Visitor Experience

Estrella de Levante’s history began in 1963 with the opening of its factory in Espinardo; the factory later became a regional symbol. Fábrica Estrella de Levante opens its doors to visitors: you can learn about the entire production process, from malting the barley to final bottling, and then take part in a beer tasting. Reservations can be made through the company website.

Jardín de Tirocosa: Green Space and Trial Biking

Jardín de Tirocosa is a completely renovated green space covering more than 25,000 square meters and connecting Espinardo and Los Rectores. A large viewpoint sits on a hilltop; there are also dedicated trial biking features. The garden is home to the first trial biking course in the municipality of Murcia. It covers 1,800 square meters and has five purpose-built sections. The course can host regional championships, training sessions and beginner courses.

The figures help distinguish the two areas: more than 25,000 square meters refers to the green space, while 1,800 square meters refers to the trial biking course. The five sections describe the course’s layout, while the viewpoint is a separate feature of the garden. This makes it possible to consider the green space, viewpoint and specialized sports facilities as distinct highlights of Jardín de Tirocosa.

Buildings, Heritage and History

Palacio de los Marqueses de Espinardo is a landmark of Espinardo’s architectural heritage, but it is currently not open to the public. Public visits are therefore not possible at present.

Casa Torre Falcón in Espinardo is a distinctive Baroque tower house of the Murcian Huerta, dating from the first third of the 18th century. Historically, it combined the functions of an aristocratic summer residence with those of a farm estate’s logistical center, in an area shaped by silkworm farming and agriculture. These two functions connect the house’s architecture with the estate’s historical activities.

Patron Saint Festivities in Honor of Saint Peter

Espinardo holds annual patron saint festivities in honor of Saint Peter, usually at the end of June. The program includes cultural, sporting and religious activities, including processions, concerts and sports competitions. Unlike the buildings and the garden, these festivities are tied to a recurring time of year. If your trip falls during this period, check the specific festival dates.
