November 23 Free guided tour of La Manga explaining the origins and history of the Mar Menor
El Origen del Mar Menor traces the ancient and modern history of La Manga del Mar Menor
This 5-kilometre walking tour in La Manga begins at the bridge of El Estacio and the channel which enables boats to pass between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean, and continues to the lighthouse, where information is given about the long history of the area. After seeing the water storage facilities which were used in the past by lighthouse-keepers and their families the route returns to the port, where it is still possible to see the home of Tomás Maestre (Sr Maestre was the man who is credited with “inventing” tourism in La Manga in the mid-20th century).
The tour, which is conducted in Spanish, begins at 12.30 at the entrance to the Puerto Tomás Maestre, and is scheduled to last 2 hours, giving you time to visit the weekly market beforehand and then enjoy a late lunch in La Manga!
There is no charge but prior booking is required here.
Further information is available from the tourist office of San Javier (Calle Padre Juan, telephone 968 571704, email turismo@sanjavier.es) and online bookings can be made here.
