Tuesdays and Thursdays in August Free walking tours in La Manga del Mar Menor
Discover the natural treasures of La Manga at two of the most representative beaches
Posidonia Turismo is holding a series of free walking tours in La Manga during August, beginning at Playa de las Amoladeras (at the very southern end of La Manga) on Tuesdays and at Playa Mistral (km 5.8) on Thursdays.
During the walks participants will see for themselves some of the natural and cultural treasures of La Manga. Las Amoladeras is far from being a “normal” beach as archaeologists have discovered evidence of Stone Age settlers there and the marshy area which was once salt flats is now used as a temporary home by dozens of species of migratory birds, while Playa Mistral is a perfect place to admire the unique ecosystem of the Mar Menor.
Although the tours are free of charge prior registration is required online here.
Further information is available from Posidonia Turismo on 644 757219.

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.
