Moj\u00e1car Mayor, Francisco Garc\u00eda Cerd\u00e1, and Beatrice Beckett, President of the Valpara\u00edso Foundation have signed an agreement to transfer the land owned by the foundation located on the site of Moj\u00e1car la Vieja.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a result of this agreement the Local Council will be able to carry out all the actions aimed at the consolidation of the site.
\nThe contract signed between the Council and the foundation, lasting 50 years, represents a major advance and a notable boost to the Moj\u00e1car la Vieja excavation works. It will allow for the expansion of the collaboration framework with other entities, including state, the possibility of accessing official and private financial assistance, and among other matters, creates the guarantee of solidity and commitment to the continuity of the works that are being carried out at the site.
\nThis important agreement opens up new lines of work for the next excavation works. That corresponding to 2023 will start next month.
\nThanks to the transfer of this land, and with the cession of other local minority owners of the Moj\u00e1car la Vieja hill, Moj\u00e1car Council plans to initiate the request for assistance and collaborations from higher administrations, both at the state and autonomous community level.
\nMoj\u00e1car la Vieja is currently included in the 2022-2025 General Research Project, which allows for having a conservation, maintenance and management plan for the site that gives access to facilitating the highlighting of the importance of the site, increasing its promotion among residents and visitors.
\n\tAs of today, and within this framework of the 2022-2025 General Research Project, Moj\u00e1car la Vieja annually receives an important team of archaeologists, national and international, who continue the investigation work on the site that began five years ago.
\nIn 2018, Moj\u00e1car Council started, thanks to the University of Granada and Memolab (Biocultural Archaeology Laboratory), the first exploration, adaptation and research work on the Moj\u00e1car la Vieja hill. With these actions and thanks to the exhaustive work carried out by the archaeologists from Granada, the historic and cultural value of the site was uncovered, making important advances in each campaign, both from the point of view of their finds and in its strategic positioning in the field of archaeology and in the study of these first Islamic settlements in eastern Almer\u00eda.
\nThe Moj\u00e1car Mayor thanked Beatrice Beckett and the Valpara\u00edso Foundation for the support received over all these years on the Moj\u00e1car la Vieja project, of great relevance for the municipality and for the historic studies of the province, and especially for the confidence received with this important step of the cession of their land located in a part of this archaeological zone.
\nThe Valpara\u00edso Foundation is a cultural foundation of national scope, dedicated to the patronage of activities in all artistic disciplines.
\nBeatrice Beckett founded, together with her husband Paul Beckett, the Valpara\u00edso Foundation and the Artists Residence after arriving in Moj\u00e1car in 1964 and in 1972 acquiring the estate where both projects are located.
\nEvery year in Moj\u00e1car Valpara\u00edso hosts artists from different disciplines from all over the world, among them theatre, music, painting, photography, sculpture and literature.
\nWith the aim of promoting culture in Moj\u00e1car, which has always been a place of artistic inspiration, the Council has for years been collaborating with this foundation, a collaboration which maintains its continuity over time and under which new actions are not ruled out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
