A la altura de Javalí Nuevo destaca el Azud Mayor, conocido también como la Contraparada. Es en esta zona en la que el río se estrecha para controlar mejor el agua. Precisamente desde ahí parten las acequias Aljufía y Alquibla. Los vecinos de la zona han de agradecer el azud a los musulmanes. Gracias a ellos se aportaron grandes conocimientos de hidráulica a la huerta.

Lorca
The Franciscan convent of Nuestra Señora la Real de las Huertas was built at the end of the 15th century, but the flood of 1653 destroyed it almost completely. The current convent was completed in the mid-eighteenth century, becoming one of the most outstanding Lorca religious buildings. It was disentailed in the nineteenth century and plundered during the Civil War. The sculpture of the Virgen de las Huertas, patron saint of the city, is the work of Sánchez Lozano. The paintings of the church, the dressing room of the Virgin and the staircase of the Tota Pulcra are of great interest since they compose iconographic cycles that allude to the relevant characters of the Franciscan Order, to the Virgen de las Huertas related to the history of the city and the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. They are appreciable works of local painters of the eighteenth century Martínez Fernández de Espinosa and Rebolloso Jiménez. In this convent the historian Cánovas Cobeño and the counts of San Julián are buried. On September 8, the feast of the patron saint of Lorca is commemorated, which tradition points to as the image brought by Alfonso X the Wise in 1244, when the conquest of the city. On September 8, the patron saint of Lorca, the Virgen de las Huertas, makes a floral offering and mass. In its vicinity there is the Feria Chica de Lorca, with innumerable activities, beach bars, nougat stands, fair, folklore festivals, etc.

Cehegín
The Franciscan convent of San Esteban, located outside the old part of the town of Cehegín, consists of a complex of buildings that includes: monastery, cloister, chapel and church, and dates from the late 16thcentury. It was declared Monumento Histórico-Artístico Nacional ("Historic-Artistic Monument of National Interest¿) in 1976 and it is considered a characteristic piece of the Murcian Baroque style. The convent is made of three naves with a high choir at its base. The pilasters of the naves are of Corinthian order and those of the transept are of composite order. In the 18thcentury the convent got extended through the building of the Neoclassical chapel of San Jose, situated on the left of the transept. This chapel has a Latin cross plan and its high altar shows a Baroque altarpiece. In the church, it is worth highlighting the camarín (a little chapel behind the High altar) where can be seen the statue of the Patron Saint of Cehegin, the Virgen de las Maravillas, a religious image from the 17th century made by the Napolitan artist Nicola Fumo. This piece of art makes stand out the amazing churrigueresque altarpiece that frames it. This octagonal-shaped Camarín is covered with carved wood in consonance with the Neoclassical style. The dome is crowned by an awesome rose window. It has been recently fully restored as a red-jasper façade was built where before there was a plaster one that was demolished in the 1940's. It has been declared a national monument.
