Special Tribute
THIS past week, the municipality of Mojácar held a heartfelt tribute to its security forces in honour of the town’s patron saint, the Virgen del Rosario. This year’s celebration was particularly significant, as the town council recently designated the Virgen del Rosario as the official patron of the local police during the municipal meeting on September 26.
The ceremony took place at the Centro de Usos Múltiples, where members of the Mojácar Local Police, the Levante Almeriense Fire Brigade, and the Guardia Civil gathered to acknowledge their unwavering commitment to the community s safety. Among the notable attendees was José Antonio García Alcaina, the Vice President of the Diputación de Almería, who joined local officials to pay tribute to these dedicated professionals.
Mojácar’s mayor, Fran García, emphasised the essential role of the local police force, which is made up of 23 active officers, along with the efforts of firefighters and the Guardia Civil. ‘Today is about honouring their relentless work and dedication,’ he stated.
Celebrations for the Virgen del Rosario continued over the weekend with various activities, including a traditional senior lunch for over 160 attendees and the XXXIX Mojácar Popular Race, which drew participants of all ages. The festivities also featured a beloved ribbon-running event at La Fuente, showcasing the spirit of this pretty town.
