February 12 El Hijo de la Cómica, Spanish drama in San Javier
A homage to Fernando Fernán-Gómez, at the Teatro Vico in Jumilla
Written, directed and performed by José Sacristán, El Hijo del Cómica is a homage to the life and work of Fernando Fernán-Gómez, one of Spain’s favourite novelists, playwrights, actors and cinema directors.
Born in Peru in 1921, Fernán-Gómez didn’t actually obtain Spanish nationality until 1984, and was a prolific artist well into his 80s before his death in Madrid in 2007. This show is dedicated to his younger years, as recalled in his memoir “El Tiempo Amarillo”.
The performance at the Teatro de Invierno in San Javier, located in the central Parque Almansa, on 12th February begins at 21.00 and tickets are available online here priced from 15 euros.

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.
