La manga Festivities

Maybe all fiestas created for the nightlife of summer months belong in La Manga; there are discos here where every kind of event is frequently organised. But the true essence of the people from the area lies in all those coastal towns spread along the mar Menor.

You will find deep-rooted fiestas from Los Alcazares to San Pedro del Pinatar. The traditional marine parades take place on the 16th century of july in lo Pagán and on the third Sunday of july in Santiago de la Ribera.

The Fiesta del mar is organized in Los Alcázares between the 1st and the 15th of August and is completed with the marine parade of the Virgen de la Asunción.


The international week of la huerta is celebrated in Los Alcázares on the second half of August and has been awarded the category of event of regional touristic interest. Besides the folklore festival there are exhibitions of typical crafts and foods from la huerta. August is finally brought to a close with the international thetre Contest of the Mar Menor, in San Javier.

Apart from the summer other events are organized as diverse as the pilgrimage of San Blas in Santiago de la Ribera in February or Caldero day in Los Alcázares on the 12th of October.
