Mojácar has recently been recognised as an official member of the prestigious European Network of Family-Friendly Cities (ELFAC), highlighting its commitment to family well-being, policies of conciliation and actions that promote an environment suitable for families of diverse configurations. This recognition places Mojácar as a benchmark in the promotion of policies that favour family growth and the balance between personal and professional life in Europe.
The inclusion of Mojácar in the ELFAC Network reinforces its reputation as an outstanding tourist destination, not only due to its offer of sun and beach, but also for its inclusive policies and programmes aimed at the well-being of families. This title reinforces the importance that the municipality places on creating an environment that facilitates the conciliation and integral development of people, with suitable infrastructure and family-centred policies.
This recent recognition for Mojácar reinforces its solid trajectory in family tourism, marked by obtaining the Family Tourism Stamp in 2017, being the first municipality in Andalucia to achieve it and which was renewed in 2021 and 2024. This stamp highlights the destinations that best adapt to the needs of families, and Mojácar is distinguished by its safe beaches, its pedestrian old town and a varied offer of events and routes for all kinds of people, together with a tourist infrastructure designed for families.
One of the main foundations that has allowed Mojácar to obtain this recognition is its infrastructure oriented to the needs of families. The municipality has developed a network of public services that include childcare centres, schools and sports areas, which makes residents’ daily lives easier and allows for the comprehensive development of children.
Mojácar council has made a notable effort to promote accessible and safe spaces. Children’s play areas have been updated to ensure the safety of little ones, and pedestrian routes have been created that connect the main residential areas with educational and health services. In addition, public transport has improved in recent years, with routes that allow greater connection between rural areas and the urban centre.
The inclusion of Mojácar in the European Network of Family-Friendly Cities is a milestone that reflects the municipality’s effort to promote family well-being and quality of life. With a quality public services infrastructure, a privileged natural environment and a diverse cultural offer, Mojácar is established as an ideal destination for families from all over Europe.
