Hey good looking! Locals invited to Mojacar’s unveiling on pretty list ALMERIA province can proudly boast two of the 18 ‘prettiest towns in Spain.’ And the province will be the envy of Andalucia, as Mojacar and Lucainena de las Torres are the only towns in the region to make the list, as reported in the Euro Weekly News. Now the official proclamation of Mojacar as one of the 18 ‘Most beautiful towns in Spain’ will be held tomorrow (Friday) at 11:30 am in the meeting room of Mojacar Town Hall. The event will be chaired by the mayor of Mojacar Rosa Maria Cano and the president of the Association Oscar Soria. All Mojacar residents and business owners who wish to attend are invited to come along and learn about the objectives and activities of the association. They include commercial relationships with the Borghi travel tour operator, specialists in the travel industry, and other international contacts with similar associations in European countries.
The association ‘Los Pueblos mas bonitos de España’ (The prettiest towns in Spain) will form part of a network covering
18 municipalities and aims to promote tourism in towns and villages. The aim of this initiative is to boost promotional
efforts and tourism both nationally and internationally and organise activities related to heritage and culture.
Bishop lays foundation BISHOP of Almeria, Adolfo Gonzalez Montes, has laid the foundation stone of the new chapel dedicated to the Virgen de la Cabeza. It is to be built on top of the hill of Monteagud and will replace the existing chapel where a holy image is kept and is the place where thousands of pilgrims
visit every year at this time. The act was attended by the mayor of Benizalon, Emilio Cid, and mayors of several of the nearby towns, the parish priests in the area, and a group of pilgrims already arriving to touch the mantle of the virgin. The bishop also celebrated a Mass.
