Vigente.
From the 11th to the 14th of June, the municipality will once again be filled with parades, gunpowder, music and spectacular historical reenactments.
Mojácar is finalising preparations for celebrating another edition of its emblematic Moors and Christians Festival, one of the most anticipated events on the Almería festive calendar. From the 11th to the 14th of June, the municipality's streets will be transformed into a stage where history, tradition, and spectacle come together.
For four days, residents and visitors will be able to enjoy some of the most representative events of these festivities, such as the traditional musket fire, the spectacular horse parade, the dressage exhibition and medieval tournament, and the grand Moors & Christians parade, which will fill Mojácar with colour, music and excitement.
The festivities, deeply rooted in the local identity, attract thousands of people every year who find in Mojácar a unique celebration, capable of combining the value of tradition with a carefully crafted presentation in one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful villages.
The Mojácar Mayor, Francisco García Cerdá, has invited residents and visitors to enjoy these festivities, which “are part of our essence and showcase to the world the cultural, historical and human richness of Mojácar.”
In addition, the Al-Mosaquer Moors and Christians General Association has announced the 6th National Photography Contest of the 2026 Mojácar Moors & Christians Festival, an initiative that seeks to capture the best moments of the celebration. The contest, open to participants from all over Spain, will accept photographs taken during the festivities from the 15th of June to the 15th of September and will give out prizes of 200 euros in each of its four categories: Moorish theme, Christian theme, black and white, and open theme. The selected images will form part of future exhibitions and promotional activities for the festivities.
With an extensive programme of activities and significant organisational and security measures in place, Mojácar is getting ready to experience four unforgettable days in which history will come alive once again next to the sea.
As a complement to the festivities, Mojácar Council is reinforcing the urban bus service during the busiest days. The service will extend its hours to 3.30am on Thursday 11th of June, and until 6am on the early mornings of Friday 12th of June and Saturday 13th of June, making getting between Mojácar Pueblo and the beach area easier and promoting more comfortable and safe mobility for residents and visitors. On Sunday 14th of June, the regular timetable will remain in effect, with additional services at peak times.
Among the main novelties of this edition are the celebration of the 1st Mojácar History and Archaeology Conference and the establishment of Town Day.
