Mojácar has been officially recognised as a “Municipio Turístico” by the Andalusian government. This status brings new funding and opportunities for the coastal town.

Mojácar Recognised as Official ‘Municipio Turístico’

The coastal town of Mojácar has officially been granted the designation of “Municipio Turístico” (Tourist Municipality) by the Junta de Andalucía. The announcement marks a new chapter for one of Almería’s most iconic destinations, known for its whitewashed old town, vibrant events, and award-winning beaches.

With this status, Mojácar will now benefit from a share of a regional subsidy package worth €4.4 million. The funding will be used to improve tourist infrastructure, signage, digital information systems, and accessibility for visitors. Municipal authorities have welcomed the recognition as a validation of their long-term strategy focused on quality tourism and cultural preservation.

The new classification also highlights Mojácar’s consistent efforts to manage tourism sustainably and provide year-round experiences for visitors — from Blue Flag beaches to heritage events like the Moors & Christians festival.
