Located on the Mar Menor coast, its history begins after the time of the Berber incursions in this area, around a hermitage built at the beginning of the s. XVII and dedicated to the Apostle San Francisco Javier.
Within its territory, dedicated to agricultural and marine activities, the coastal towns of Santiago de la Ribera and La Manga del Mar Menor stand out, both with eminent tourist characteristics.
