Mojácar Shows Pupils at the Municipal Nursery School Their Mothers’ Professions to Mark International Women’s Day

To mark International Women’s Day, the “Garabato” infants’ nursery school celebrated a day at its facilities to show the little ones the different professions followed in their family circle, and more specifically, by their mothers.
The idea was received with much excitement by the little ones and they had fun finding out, some of them for the first time, what their mothers do daily while they are at nursery school.
Every mother taking part prepared a table with the usual tools of their trade. In this way the very youngest could see what hairdressers, nurses, mechanics, cooks, pastry chefs, masseurs and piano teachers do, helping them with the necessary tasks for doing their job and learning how to do it.
A whole range of professions that the children have discovered through their mothers at the nursery school, and that gives them a different perspective of their mums and their social environment.
It so happens that some of the mothers who took part in the day were, in their day, pupils at the nursery school where their children are now taking their first steps in their academic and social life, returning to the classrooms, but now to show the new generations their working activity. It is also the case that some of the teachers were pupils at “Garabato”, where they are now educators and have their children at the centre, as were their parents also.
A long history of the Mojácar municipal nursery school, which now has several generations among its pupils, being a well-loved and respected institution in the municipality.
Raquel Belmonte, Mojácar Council’s Councillor for Children, described the experience as very positive, aiming to meet one of the centre’s most important objectives: “gaining knowledge of the environment at the stage of infant education means offering the children opportunities of experiencing affective situations and bringing them closer to their culture, interacting with their surroundings in an increasingly diverse way that will be of great use to them at the schooling stage and throughout their lives.”
The “Garabato” municipal nursery school has nine teachers who take care of the pupils. They have five classrooms at their disposal in which they divide the little ones according to age, from 16 months to three years old, at which time they enter the Bartolomé Flores Public School. Garabato is also one of the few nursery schools that has its own kitchen, guaranteeing the correct nutrition of all the little ones

Mojácar Positions Itself as a Pet-Friendly Destination Opening the First Dog Beach

Mojácar Council has announced the imminent opening of the municipality’s first dog beach on Perulejo Beach, a project that will be completed in 2025 in response to the growing demand for public spaces adapted to pets. This initiative reinforces Mojácar’s commitment to family and sustainable tourism, consolidating its position as a pet-friendly destination in Almería province.
Mojácar, with its picturesque old town, its beaches with crystal clear waters and its privileged climate, has become one of the main tourist destinations in the Levante region of Almería. In 2024, the municipality received close to 800,000 visitors, with a notable increase in the arrival of national and international tourists.
British tourism in particular has shown a special interest in the locality, representing approximately 20% of the total number of visitors, according to data from the Andalucía Institute of Statistics and Cartography.
The designation of Perulejo Beach as a dog-friendly area makes Mojácar the second municipality in the Levante region of Mojácar to offer a beach specifically for dogs, following the example of Cuevas del Almanzora.
The Mayor of Mojácar, Francisco García Cerdá, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: “This dog beach not only responds to a need of our residents, but also broadens our tourist offer, attracting a growing segment of visitors who travel with their pets.”
The opening of the dog beach will not only benefit residents, but is expected to boost the local economy. Mojácar has a wide range of accommodation, from luxury hotels to holiday apartments, many of which are already pet-friendly. The inclusion of a dog beach could increase hotel occupancy in low seasons, attracting tourists looking for pet-friendly destinations.
The Costa de Almeria has stood out in recent years for its versatility and for offering tourist alternatives for all types of people. Mojácar, with its Mediterranean charm and its commitment to quality tourism, continues to add attractions to consolidate itself as a benchmark destination.
Perulejo Beach , with its new configuration, will not only become a gathering point for animal lovers, but also an example of how tourism development can go hand in hand with inclusion and sustainability.

“The professionalism and effort of the businessmen and merchants have made Mojácar the destination it is today. But Mojácar is much more than tourism, it is an exceptional place to live, with charm at any time of the year,” stressed the councillor.
During the presentation at FITUR, an emotional promotional video was screened that invites families, young people and seniors to put aside the screens and live unforgettable moments in Mojácar. From exploring its cultural and natural heritage, enjoying the beaches, to sharing culinary and sporting experiences, the message is clear: “Mojácar is for disconnecting and enjoying”.
In 2025, Mojácar will add an additional attraction to its tourist proposal with an agenda of unique events that are the perfect excuse to return to the municipality. Among the outstanding events are:
– Moors and Christians (since 1988)
– The Night of the Candles (since 2013)
– The Disney Party, The Romantic Night and The Most Beautiful Christmas
– Mojácar as the Ferrero Rocher Village

In addition, Mojácar is making progress in sustainability and culture projects, with the support of the Junta de Andalucía, the Provincial Council and the Destination Sustainability Plan.
“Mojácar closed 2024 with historical records in visitors and overnight stays, and in 2025 we will continue working to be a benchmark of quality and excellence in the province of Almeria,” concluded the councillor, underlining the municipality’s commitment to sustainable tourism and innovation.
