December 19 to January 6 The Belén de España in San Javier
One of the largest nativity scenes in Spain in the centre of San Javier
The word “monumental” is used to describe many of the nativity scenes which are set up every year in the Region of Murcia, but the one in the Plaza de España in San Javier is arguably more deserving of the adjective than any other on account not only of its plethora of models of local buildings but also of its sheer size.
Occupying an area of over 500 square metres in the open square and containing around 2,000 figures, it is now 58 years since the project started – and still it continues to grow. This year it officially opens on Friday December 19 at 20.00 uwith live music provided by Coco Carmona & The Jazz Missioners, as well as local dignitaries including Councillors.

Oficina de Turismo de San Javier
The municipality of San Javier has three main offices giving tourist information to visitors, as well as two information points. The tourist offices are located in Santiago de la Ribera, on the ground floor of the town hall in San Javier and at the start of La Manga. There is also a summer tourist information point located on the seafront in Santiago de la Ribera as well as one at kilometre 12-13 of La Manga del Mar Menor next to Playa Mistral.
Due to its location on the fringes of the Mar Menor and Mediterranean, San Javier has a period of intense summer tourism activity during the peak summer months, although it is popular with retirees of all nationalities out of peak season.
Tickets for the annual San Javier Jazz Festival can be purchased at the Festival office in San Javier Town Hall, Plaza de España.
