Located in the municipality of San Pedro del Pinatar, to the north of the Mar Menor. It lies 1.3 miles from the Santiago de La Ribera pier and 4.4 miles from the Tomas Maestre marina. The area of Lo Pagan is famous for its medicinal mudbaths and the Salinas de San Pedro Natural Park.
San Pedro del Pinatar saltworks are the most significant marshland area of Murcia's Region. They were stated Nature Reserve Regional Park on 1985. Flamingos and other migratory bird flocks nest here every year, using this Nature Reserve as a stopping place in their migrations between Europe and Africa.
The existence of saltworks in this Nature Reserve is so old as the human being's presence. Fourteen Century documents mention these saltworks already. The two windmills that stay nowadays were used to pump up the salty Mar Menor's water to the saltwork ponds. Now they use electrical pumps, but the windmills outline is still part of the landscape.
