The Cordaban locality of Iznájar has been selected as a Pueblo Ferrero Rocher candidate for this Christmas 2023, and for this reason, a delegation from this municipality, with its mayor at the head, travelled to Mojácar to learn first-hand about their experience and the work carried out until becoming winners of the 2022 edition.
They were received at the Town Hall by the Mojácar Mayor, Francisco García Cerdá; the Tourism Councillor, María Gracia, and Carmen García Campoy, director of the Mojácar Council Tourism Department.
Francisco García Cerdá expressed his support for Iznájar’s candidacy, as well as providing them with all assistance with whatever they may need.
Iznájar is the only town representing Andalucia in the “Together We Shine More” Ferrero Rocher campaign and that features the values and traditions of the Andalucian Community.
In the meeting between the two mayors, Francisco García Cerdá highlighted the unprecedented relevance and impact of Mojácar’s participation in the Ferrero Rocher contest. As a result of this award, all forecasts for the increase in visits to the locality multiplied exponentially and the boost to breaking the seasonal nature of the tourist season was more than significant.
In Mojácar there has been a before and after in its Christmas celebrations. In fact, the lights remained on until well into February on registering a large number of visitors who wanted to admire the impressive illumination and that did not end, even when the festivities were over.
The whole of Iznájar is now working on its candidacy and on its strategies to pass the first phase that would keep it in the competition. The Iznájar delegation was able to share with Mojácar the ideas and plans that they are now carrying out for this purpose and they exchanged ideas and experiences about the contest.
Mayor Lope Ruiz thanked Francisco García Cerdá and Mojácar for their help, as well as Almería province, which, without doubt, will also support its candidacy with the votes, not only of all the Mojácar locals, but also of all Almeríans.
