Is it San Javier itself or Santiago de la Ribera which is also part of San Javier?
San Javier is a working town with plenty of bars and good restaurants, commercial centre and a lovely main square with the town hall and a beautiful parish church. Always lots of free events, fiestas and concerts. Not touristy at all but a small number of expats....If you mean Ribera thats very different !
Thank you still looking at areas. Do you know Los Narejos at all?

The very northern end of Los Narejos is actually administered by San Javier council, so its a bit confusing, but it is actually three or so km. south of San Javier, so it is as Chrissywissy says the residential end of Los Alcázares.
It has a high percentage of expats, as you rapidly discover in the Los Narejos supermarkets. It often seems there are more Brits in Aldi and Consum that Spanish.

Santiago de la Ribera is the beach resort of San Javier....San Javier itself is a Spanish working town where the town hall and council offices are based but has lots of amenities too...many of the fiestas take place in the town hall square and it has a great outdoor concert venue too with music festivals and free concerts...maybe 5/10 mins drive from beach area.
If you search on Facebook for each area the ayuntamiento has its own page and also Turismo pages

Define the centre, the Los Alcázares Town Hall and Correos are in the old town. At the same time, the main restaurant area and residential area is in the middle of Los Narejos, near the Mercadonna with about 20 min walk between the two.
The leading supermarkets are 10 to 12 min walk the other way. (from the most further supermarket Aldi to Town Hall is 2.5km)
Assume at the very least you will have bicycles with paniers/baskets. Essential really
If you go on Google Maps, you can see.
