San Javier Jazz Festival

As summer is fast approaching, we thought it best to tell you of an event that may be of interest whilst you are visiting.

The internationally famous San Javier Jazz Festival dates have been announced and it will run from the 1st to the 30th July 2016. San Javier town will once again, on the shores of the Mar Menor, be 'swinging' to the sounds of Jazz.

If you feel you want to let loose and chill out listening to the 'cool crazy' beats.'Get Down' to San Javier. Where the bands are sure to be 'Smokin' and the people 'jumpin'
