Mojácar's cuisine is the best example of the gastronomic tradition of the Costa de Almería, where fish and seafood fresh from the sea predominate, but which also includes succulent recipes featuring the fruits of the land.
Aware of the importance of maintaining the culinary heritage of the past, Mojácar's cuisine preserves the authentic flavour of the simple dishes and stews of yesteryear cooked to satisfy the appetite, but which today are in demand by all those who visit Mojácar precisely because they have managed to preserve the most local and distinctive character of the Mediterranean diet, differentiating it from other destinations on the same coast.
On the other hand, Mojácar's privileged location just a stone's throw from the Mediterranean, with a climate that guarantees the highest quality vegetables and olive oils, has meant that this tradition in the kitchen has always been in contact with people from all over the world who have contributed their own stamp to convert these precious treasures into appetising dishes.
