Pau Batalla and Miguel Martínez are the architects that designed the space. They added more greenery, a play area for young and old, a sports area, and the previously mentioned theatre that also has a cafeteria and a central patio. Locals can now look forward to yearround entertainment.
The budget for the twoyear development was €3.5 million.
The remodeled summer auditorium built in 1985 will reopen its doors for the wellawaited Jazz Festival in the summer. The mayor of San Javier spoke about the new ‘green heart ’ of San Javier. He also discussed the removal of the parking area from the park and the added security to prevent vandalism. The inauguration was attended by the president of the Region Fernando López Miras.
WE can find ourselves looking for ways to entertain the family every weekend. On certain dates from April 2 until May 28, the dramatised family musical ‘Teo y el Sarcófago Magico’ (Teo and the Magical Sarcophagus) will take place in Cartagena City.
The musical will begin at the Augusteum Roman Temple and move on to the Museo Foro Romano Molinete. The musical is about Teo who begins a new adventure in Cartagena with his friend the mummy. Teo opens the book of the living in error and chaos ensues. Cleopatra and the evil Napolean are brought back from the dead and they try to conquer Cartagena. There will be singing, history, and fun for all the family. If this sounds like your cup of tea it sets off from the Augusteum Temple at
11.30am and it lasts for two hours. Tickets cost €15 and are available online from the Cartagena Town Hall website. There you can also consult the available dates in April and May.
