El Prado en las Calles brings the Prado museum experience to the heart of the Region of Murcia
The itinerant exhibition El Prado en las Calles has arrived for the next few weeks in the municipality of San Javier, bringing with it a total of 50 large-scale high-quality reproductions of masterpieces created by Velázquez, Goya, El Bosco, Rubens and El Greco, among others.
Each image is accompanied by explanatory information panels and additional information is available through a QR code, bringing the works of art held permanently in the national El Prado museum in Madrid to life in the Costa Cálida. They can be found on the seafront promenade in Santiago de la Ribera, and as the event coincides with the start of the summer season this is a perfect way to blend a little culture with your morning or evening walk!
As well as Dutch and Spanish artists the selection also includes representatives of Flemish, German and Italian schools, and was installed in time for the celebration of Museums Day last weekend. Now it is in place until the middle of June, adding yet another item to the already long list of reasons to take a trip to San Javier!

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.
