Mojácar, Mountain village and coastal resort in Almería Province, Spain
The municipality of Mojácar consists of two distinct areas: a hilltop village at 152 meters elevation and a beachfront district along 17 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline.
The settlement evolved from ancient civilizations, with Greeks naming it Murgis-Akra, followed by Latin Moxacar, Arabic Muxacra, until reaching its current name Mojácar.
The Indalo symbol, discovered in local caves, appears throughout the town on buildings and represents protection according to regional traditions of Almería Province.
Mojácar maintains strict construction regulations that prevent high-rise buildings, preserving the traditional appearance of white-painted houses across the mountainside.
The Fundación Valparaíso operates an international artists' residence in a 16th-century farmhouse, continuing the town's connection with creative communities.
