Histoire[modifier | modifier le code]
BREVE INTRODUCTION HISTORIQUE.
DONNEES PREHISTORIQUES.
Les premiers vestiges de présence humaine dans cette zone datent du paléolithique moyen, quand l’homme de Neandertal habitait dans les environs de Cuevas de Almanzora. C’est à l’époque néolithique que l’on trouve quelques traces sur les terres de Mojácar.
Beaucoup d’auteurs se rejoignent lorsqu’ils parlent de « Mojácar La Vieja » assise en plein berceau de la culture argare, (2000 ans av. J.-C.), la première de Péninsule Ibérique, à être formée comme société organisée.
Avec la décadence de la culture argare commence l’âge du fer (xve siècle av. J.-C.), avec l’arrivée des Celtes venus du centre et du nord de l’Europe. Vinrent aussi les colonisateurs méditerranéens phéniciens et grecs qui exploitèrent la richesse minière de la montagne Almagrera. Les Phéniciens s’installèrent dans cette région, attirés par la nouvelle et la connaissance de villages au développement florissant.
Les Romains commencèrent à conquérir ces terres à la fin du iiie siècle av. J.-C. A Mojácar on a trouvé des restes de stations romaines comme une tuilerie au pied de Mojácar La Vieja, un village agricole et un réservoir d’eau « Quebrado ».
Au ve siècle apr. J.-C., se produisit l’invasion des Barbares. D’entre eux ce sont les Visigoths qui s’approprièrent les terres, et y restèrent jusqu’au début du viiie siècle, avec l’irruption des armées arabes et le début de la longue étape musulmane.
Étape musulmane
On croit que pendant toute cette époque, Mojácar était situé sur Mojácar La Vieja, et que probablement la mer arrivait à leur pied. De là, on dominait toute la vallée et possédait l’un des plus grands réservoir d’eau plus impressionnant que ceux conservés par l’ancien règne de Grenade.
On croit que c’est à la fin du xiiie siècle que le lieu commença à être abandonné et que s’est formé le noyau urbain de Mojácar actuel. Il est possible qu’il fût détruit par un tremblement de terre u bien parce que les habitants harcelés par les chrétiens cherchèrent une enclave plus protégée. À partir de là, l’histoire de Mojácar devient difficile pour ses habitants, à cause des relations ardues entre l’Islam et la Chrétienté.
Mojácar chrétien
En 1488 eut lieu le passage de Mojácar maure à Mojácar chrétien.
Le 10 juin 1488, les gouverneurs de toute la zone vinrent se rendre aux Rois catholiques, cependant celui de Mojácar s’y refusa, ce qui alerta les rois, vu que Mojácar par sa situation stratégique et son nombre considérable d’habitants, constituait l’un des points significatifs de la région. Les rois, par prudence envoyèrent à Mojácar une ambassade dirigée par le Capitaine Garcilaso pour sonder l’opinion et avec l’invitation à se rendre. Selon ce que disait la légende c’est à la Fontaine qu’Alabez expliqua ses raisons : « Je suis aussi espagnol que vous. Ceux de ma race et moi, avons vécu plus de 700 ans en Espagne et vous nous dites de partir. Il me semble donc juste que vous nous traitiez en frères, non en ennemis, et que vous nous permettiez de continuer à labourer notre terre. Et il ajouta : moi, avant de me rendre comme un lâche, je saurai mourir comme un espagnol. »
Garcilaso rentra à Vera et conta l’entrevue aux rois qui donnèrent leur confiance à Alabez. Restant fidèle à sa parole, Mojácar vécut plus une ville d’Espagne chrétienne.
xixe et xxe siècles
Vers les années 50, le peintre almérien Jesús de Perceval, fonda le Mouvement Indaliano, qui trouva son capital esthétique et ses racines à Mojácar. Son nom, sa magie et son charme furent alors propagés dans toute l’Espagne.
On commença à construire des hôtels complexes, résidences et on blanchit les maisons à la chaux. À la fin des années soixante Mojácar reçu le prix d’embellissement et amélioration des villages d’Espagne. Aujourd’hui, Mojácar est un village qui reste fidèle à son architecture, à la couleur de ses maisons, à l’environnement et à ses espaces protégés, à ses plages et petits coins

Places to see in ( Mojacar - Spain )
Mojácar is a municipality situated in the south east of the Province of Almería in southern Spain, bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Mojacar is 90 km from the capital of the province, Almería. Mojacar is an elevated mountain village displaying the traditional white colour from its earlier days. There is also a tourist resort to the south of Mojacar , on the coast, called Mojacar Playa.
Mojácar has been inhabited by many different groups since antiquity. Populated since the Bronze Age around 2000 BC, traders such as the Phoenicians and Carthaginians arrived to serve the growing communities. Under Greek dominion, the settlement was called Murgis-Akra, whence came the Latinized Moxacar, the Moorish Muxacra and finally the current name of Mojácar. The North African Islamic Moors established themselves in Spain in the early 8th century and the province of Almería came under the authority of the Caliphate of Damascus, and was later ruled by the Umayyads of Córdoba. Under this second enlightened rule, Mojácar quickly grew in size and importance. With the coronation of Muhammad I of Córdoba in Granada, Mojácar and its lands became incorporated into the Nasrid sultanate, and the town found itself on the frontier with the Christian forces to the east. Watchtowers and fortresses were built, or reinforced, during the 14th century, which nevertheless did little to discourage Christian incursions and fierce battles such as the bloody event of 1435 when much of the population of Mojácar was put to the sword.
On June 10, 1488, the leaders of the region agreed to submit to the Christian forces, although Mojácar's alcaide refused to attend, considering his town to be already Spanish. At that time there was a meeting at Mojácar's Moorish fountain, where a pact of free association between the local Moors, Jews and Christians was agreed. Mojácar, once again, began to expand until the early 18th century, when the census of the time recorded 10,000 people. Around the middle of the 19th century, Mojácar began another period of decline.
Mojácar has more than 3000 hours of sun per year. Rainfall is seldom and weak, with an average rainfall of 200mm per year. The average yearly temperature is around 20 °C. Winter is normally mild. Mojácar is classified as being in the 11 climate zone (the highest climate zone) that means the temperature in Mojácar is never lower than 4 °C.
The most important festivals ( fiestas ) in Mojácar are:
Moors and Christians: the nearest weekend to 10 June.
San Agustín: the patron saint of Mojácar. The fiesta falls on 28 August.
Romería de San Isidro: 15 May.
San Juan Hogueras: (Bonfires of Saint John) 23–24 June.
La Virgen del Rosario: (Virgin of the Rosary) is the patrona i.e. female patron saint of Mojácar. The fiesta falls on 7 October.
