San Javier is a municipality in Murcia, situated in the area of the Mar Menor. San Javier can be reached by road and has very good accesses as, over the last few years, they have built highways and motorways that take us to the Mar Menor, a very touristic place, from any corner of Spain.

San Javier is a place with a lot of history like Murcia in its totality, a place that since the 13th century was assaulted by Moorish incursions and that thanks to incentives, some nobles and knights began to settle forming small villages, who still conserve their names or surnames, like Pacheco, Roldan, Pagan, etc...the same way chapels were built to consolidate these hamlets such as San Javier.
