San Blas neighborhood is located between San Javier and Santiago de la Ribera, next to the area known as La Calavera. The original hermitage that gives its name to the neighborhood, from the 16th century, is located within the premises of an old manor house. Among pine groves, we can admire other houses such as Torre Gacía (17th-18th century) or Benimar (1910), in neo-Mudejar style. Next to the modern housing estate of single-family homes, we find the new hermitage dedicated to San Blas, built in 2003, repalcing the previous one. Annually, a pilgrimage is celebrated, declared of Regional Tourist Interest in 2004, which brings together thousands of people from the entire region.

The celebration begins with a novena to San Blas, lasting until Candlemas, a festival intimately related to the saint. Thus, on the night of the 2nd, a floral offering is made to the saint, and candles are lit for Candlemas. On February 3rd, the saint goes on pilgrimage from the Parish of Santiago to his hermitage, where a rural mass is celebrated, followed by a gathering of attendees at one of the small stalls to have wine, torraos (toasted chickpeas), and buy a candy cigar. Also sold used to be the typical "San Blas", a clay figure that was put on the children's bedhead until the following year given that it was believed to help prevent throat diseases. Now it has been replaced by red hadkerchiefs or San Blas rolls.

The current image is the work of artist Gregorio Fernández-Henarejos Martínez from Los Alcázares, who created in 1987 following the model previously created by his teacher José Sánchez Lozano.
