Cehegín
Located in the old gateway of San José de la Villa, it gave access to the interior by stone steps. The name of the Partidor comes from the fact that it was located next to the partidor of the water of the irrigation channel of the countryside where there was a public fountain with several spouts for the supply of the population. Halfway up the slope, it is worth noting a singular building with a sundial from the second half of the 9th century, which can still be seen quite clearly.
Monuments
Molina de Segura
Obra del escultor Manolo Valdés, se encuentra situada en la moderna plaza del MUDEM. Tras derribar la vieja fábrica de Maximino Moreno en el año 2004, se encontró gra parte de la muralla norte que circundaba el barrio del Castillo. Aquí conviven los primeros vestigios de Molina con su proyecto cultural más vanguardista. La Dama se ha elegido para representar a la nueva imagen turística de la ciudad. Tiene 8 metros de altura y su cabello se ramifica como un árbol de metal. En su tocado, el artista ha querido reflejar algo de la tradición conservera del municipio.

La Manga San Javier (La Manga del Mar Menor)
La Encañizada is a wetland located between the southern edge of the Regional Park of Salinas and Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar and the Veneziola area, north of la Manga. It is one of the protected natural spaces that still retains a significant portion of its original values and forms. At the boundary with the Mediterranean, a series of reefs or small bariers stand out. On the other side, next to the Mar Menor, two small islets, El ventorrillo and La Encañizada, the latter having had a defensive tower since the 16th century, which was demolished in 1938. These islets are traversed by two golas or communication channels, Gola de la Torre and Gola del Ventorrillo, the only natural ones that remain of the five that exist in La Manga. In these two golas, to take advantage of the migratory movement of some fish such as mullet, sea bream, leerfish, or flathead grey mullet, elaborate fishing systems have been installed since the Arab period. These systems, made with reeds and nets, are called "encañizadas", which have given the area its name. They are usually located in shallow waters and shifting sandbars. These two encañizadas belonged to the State, which leased them through public auctions. Today, the encañizada of Gola de la Torre is still in operation. The surroundings of the encañizada are a transit, resting, and nesting area for multitude of water birds such as flamingos, herons, and avocets. Encañizada de la Torre. It is the only one preserved in the entire Mediterranean Sea and is located in the Veneziola ara north of La Manga and south of the Regional Park of Salinas de San Pedro. The building was constructed in 1509, and of the five encañizadas that were operational in the 1950s and 1960s, la Torre, after several restorations, is the last one still in operation, in a protected natural space that still preserves its original forms. This fishing technique of encañizadas, originating from the Arab period, boasts six centuries of artisanal fishing. Encañizadas fishing involves placing canes in circular labyrinths in water channels between the Mar Mayor and the Mar Menor so that passing fish become trapped in the maze, especially sea bass and sea bream that emerge after spawning in the warmer waters of the Mar Menor. The last owner of the concession from the State is "Pescados Albaladejo". In the background is the encañizada of Ventorrillo.

Monuments
Blanca
Built in the 19th century, La Favorita is a suburban house, built for the relaxation of those who had it built, a family of noble lineage, the Counts of La Vallesa. It was so called by its owners for their holiday rest. From the railing on the ground floor, which is accessed by a staircase, there are marvellous views, light and colours that blend together with the river. Peace and tranquillity reign today, another of the reasons that in its time would have been appreciated by the owners, who also owned all the orchards that surrounded it. It has two floors and an attic, and the most outstanding feature of its exterior are the different ornaments that define it as eclectic, given its variety of combinations of styles. Its maroon and white colour, which apparently was yellow at the time of construction, makes it stand out from some of the other houses in the surrounding area. All of its façades are decorated and have windows, but there is only one entrance door to the house, on the main façade, which is accessed by a flight of steps. It is currently awaiting renovation. Both one of its side façades and part of the central façade are crowned with a triangular pediment and abundant decorative motifs. It still conserves its name with all the letters clearly visible on one of the parts of its façade, the one that stands out the most.
