The tonadillera, known for her musical hits, is involved in a series of financial scandals that are generating a stir in every city where she performs.
One of the last confirmed destinations for this Pantoja 50th anniversary tour is San Pedro del Pinatar, a small municipality on the Murcian coast, it is one of the confirmed towns for this Pantoja 50th anniversary tour, and where the controversy, due to the high cost of the performance of the mother of Kiko Rivera and Isa Pantoja.
Her performance in said municipality is part of the Sal de Música festival, sharing the bill with Pablo López or Mikel Izal whose cache is less than hers, 176,000 euros, which places her as one of the best-paid artists in the country, it was expected that her remuneration would be lower given that the performance will take place on a smaller stage.
In addition, tickets for the event are being sold at prices ranging between 60 and 150 euros, doubling the average cost of a ticket at large stages and matching that of festivals with multiple artists.
The city council, in charge of organizing the event, seeks to attract visitors and recover the investment made in the Pantoja cache, betting on filling the venue to cover expenses.

The high sum for said agreement generated controversy among local politicians and artists, who questioned Pantoja’s suitability as a tourism ambassador.
