Locals star in the new San Javier tourist campaign for FITUR
Ten well-known residents feature in videos and posters to show what makes San Javier a great place to live and visit all year round
San Javier has launched its new tourism campaign called ‘San Javier, san bien,’ to show how good it is to live and spend time in the town. The campaign was presented recently at the Teatro de Invierno, ahead of its launch at the Fitur tourism fair.
The slogan ‘San Javier, san bien’ is a play on words in Spanish and can be interpreted as ‘San Javier, so good.’
Mayor José Miguel Luengo introduced the campaign video with Tourism Councillor Estíbaliz Masegosa. They explained that the campaign is about wellbeing, quality of life, and enjoying the town, its surroundings, and its people.
The campaign focuses on ten local people, well-known in the community and connected to different areas of tourism and business, who appear in the video and on posters. They are acting as ambassadors for San Javier and showing that the town is active all year, not just in summer.
Some of the locals featured include ‘San Valentín’ from Confiterías La Cierva, ‘Santa Pepa’ from La Lonja restaurant, ‘San José’ from Kalima Charter, and ‘Santa María’ from Apartamentos Pagán.
“This campaign is for everyone who opens their business each day, welcomes visitors, organises events, and helps keep this town running,” said the mayor. “A tourism brand only works if it’s supported by its people.”
Tourism Councillor Masegosa thanked the residents who took part and said the campaign shows San Javier is a place supported by services, activities, and opportunities throughout the year, not only during the tourist season.

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.
