| Video Discription | Mojácar, the white washed village on the coast of the Spanish province of Almería is a popular destination for holiday makers as well as for people who are looking to live permanently under the Spanish sun. Mojacar was declared one of Spain’s prettiest towns in 2003, and it’s no wonder why. With more than 3000 hours of sun a year, less than 200mm of rain per year, an average yearly temperature of around 20 °C and a minimum temperature never dropping below 4 °C - we think this makes it a great place to visit any time of the year! Mojacar is in fact made up of two parts: Mojacar Pueblo (the town) and Mojacar Playa (the beaches). The town is an elevated mountain village of whitewashed houses located about 170 metres above sea level on a hilltop, at the end of Sierra Cabrera, in Almeria province. Mojacar town has a long history. Back in 1488, when all the towns of the region had surrendered to the Catholic Monarchs, Alavez, the Moorish ruler of Mojacar at the time, refused to hand over the town. He reportedly said that he was as much Spanish as the Catholic Monarchs and that he didn’t want to engage in a war against Christians, but rather wanted the inhabitants of Mojacar to be treated as brothers, and not as enemies. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel accepted Alavez’s pledge of loyalty and the village kept prospering. The town enjoyed a period of great economic prosperity after silver was discovered at the beginning of the 19th century. However, this didn’t last long and at the start of the 20th century, the silver mines closed and the town suffered wars, droughts and diseases. This led to a drastic drop in population, leaving less than 300 inhabitants living in the Mojacar area during the mid-20th century Then, in the 1960s, the mayor of Mojacar began offering land to those who would commit to restoring the ruined town. The mayor’s proposal was extremely appealing to artists, intellectuals, and journalists from every part of the world, who fell in love with Mojacar’s location and long-time history. Together with the renovation of Mojacar Pueblo’s houses and streets, new residential areas also began to be built along the seashore, thus giving birth to the impressive Mojacar Playa as a tourist destination that we see today. The beaches of Mojacar are some of the most appealing along the seashores of Almeria. Almost half of the 17 km worth of sandy beaches have been granted the Blue Flag status. ▬▬▬ SUPPORT: If you enjoy our content and feel like you want to support us, you can do so in a number of ways. 1.
