Calpe U3A Petanca Group On the Ball 

On the ball 
THE Calpe U3A Petanca group meets and plays every Sunday afternoon at the new time of 3pm to 5pm. 
The pitch is at the far of the Paseo Maritimo, going past Hotel Esmeralda on the La Fossa Beach. 
Teams can be composed of between four and 24 players and the first team to reach 15 points is the winner. 
“The cost per session is free and after the match, the group normally seeks refreshments at a nearby cafe or bar,” the organisers explained.
