February 27 La Cabeza del Dragón in San Javier
The children’s story by Valle-Inclán adapted for the stage at the Winter Theatre of San Javier
Ramón Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) was an important Spanish dramatist and novelist and a member of the “Generation of 98”, renowned as one of those who subverted traditional Spanish drama in the early years of the 20th century, but apart from that he also wrote one work for children: “La Cabeza del Dragón” (The Head of the Dragon).
He described the book as “a farce for children” and indeed there is a lot of farcical humour in this stage adaptation of the work, which is being performed at the Winter Theatre in Parque Almansa (San Javier) on 27th February at 21.00. Tickets are available online here at 10 euros each and can also be purchased in person at Librería Gala (Avenida Aviación Española nº 9).

Oficina de Turismo de San Javier
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.
Tickets for the annual San Javier Jazz Festival can be purchased at the Festival office in San Javier Town Hall, Plaza de España.
