The Night of Romance comes to Mojácar: the Levante Almeria´s date with love
This Saturday 28th of June, starting at 9.15pm, there will be the 5th edition of the Night of Romance, a now well-established event in the Levante Almeriense which turns Mojácar’s whitewashed streets into a unique setting for love.
With live music in every square, dance performances, mimes and carefully curated decorations, the municipality becomes a true “love village” under the stars.
“The Night of Romance is much more than an event: it is a tangible demonstration of Mojácar’s ability to offer first-class tourist experiences. Every detail – from the selection of artists to the decoration of squares and balconies – is conceived with the aim of enhancing our identity as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain. Thanks to the commitment of businesses, artisans and residents, we transform our streets into a showcase of culture, creativity and hospitality that boosts the local economy and reinforces Mojácar’s position on the national tourist map,” explains the Mayor of Mojácar, Francisco García Cerdá.
The programme starts at 9.15 pm with different performances throughout Mojácar Pueblo’s old town: in Plaza Nueva with Natalia “Última Fusión” and her choreography, continuing in Plaza del Parterre with Yolanda Parra on piano, returning to swing in Plaza del Arbollón with Double Swing, and culminating at the City Gate with Aitor Gómez and his guitar. Meanwhile, mime artists will roam the streets, and handmade decorations – balloons, garlands and flowers – will adorn balconies and facades. At midnight, a grand collective kiss in Plaza Mayor will conclude the night.
“We have designed this edition of the Night of Romance with visitors and curious travellers in mind. We work closely with hoteliers, restaurateurs and cultural groups to ensure a carefully curated and authentic setting: handcrafted garlands, roving mime artists and a programme of shows that reflect the creative richness of our area. With the Photography Contest we invite everyone to capture and share the beauty of Mojácar under the light of the stars, turning each snapshot into a living testament to our tourism offer,” highlights Tourism Councillor, María Gracia Alarcón.
For the greater enjoyment of all those going along, public transport has been reinforced with increased frequencies and special routes going directly to the Old Town.
As a new feature, the “Capture Your Romantic Night” Photography Contest is being held in three categories (fun, artistic, and romantic), with prizes including afternoon snack and cocktails at Yoggy Mojácar; dinner and a toast at Pulcinella; and an overnight stay with breakfast at the Boutique Hotel El Olivar.
To make going and coming back easier, urban bus lines 01 and 02 will extend their services until 3.15am. Mojácar, recognised as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain, is for yet another year preparing to become the perfect setting for love: live music, dance, street art and a big collective kiss under the stars await you this 28th of June. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this incomparable event in the Levante Almeriense.
