San Javier: the hercUlean way (english guided tour)

SAN JAVIER "The Vía Herculea"Guided tour starts at the San Javier Museum, where we can learn about the town's history from the early days as well as knowing the life of illustrious people born in the municipality. The different objects exhibited there, such as an airplane donated by the San Javier Air Base, will take us on a journey through the past. The Nativity Scene (Belén), one of the main tourist attractions in San Javier as well as a tradition with deep roots in the whole Region, is featured at the museum. After leaving the museum we will have a walk to the parish church of Saint Francis Xavier, one of the first churches built in the Mar Menor area. The temple houses several works of art by renowned artists, like the sculptor Sánchez Lozano or the painter Muñoz Barberán. Strolling on we arrive at the Almansa Park, located on the former Tomás Maestre estate. Nowadays this park is a cultural landmark in the municipality, where important festivals such as the International Jazz Festival and the Interantional Festival of Theatre, Music and Dance are held.  And last but not least we will access the heart of the Town Hall, the Plenary Hall, from where the members of the local government administer San Javier.

Gong bath

The origins of the gong date back to 3500 BC and were originally used to bring the soul peace. In kundalini yoga, the sound is used to connect to that which is higher than us and aids profound relaxation and meditation.   Live a genuine healing experience through deep and immersive listening in the nature of the sound waves emitted by the instrument, which massage and calm every cell of your body. Let the vibrations of the purest sounds caress your ears and skin; feel yourself to be an integral part of the setting; and travel through sound.   Only Sierra Espuña can offer you such a complete experience, in which, by doing yoga and with the sound of the gong as a facilitator, you can feel that you are an integral part of the setting, focussing on your breathing and attaining mindfulness. Sit down, let everything stop and perceive nature as you have never experienced it before.   Location: Sierra Espuña National Park.
