The Pirulico Tower, one of the most representative monuments of the Moj\u00e1car coastline and of Moorish defensive architecture in the Levante area of Almer\u00eda, is now open to the public following the completion of the restoration work carried out over the last month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The project, financed with a total investment of 16,575 euros, has allowed the consolidation of the tower\u2019s upper skylight, improved accessibility with the installation of new handrails, and incorporated efficient solar lighting, all while respecting its status as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) and adapting to the regulations for the protection of the land and the natural surroundings in which it is located.
\nFrancisco Garc\u00eda Cerd\u00e1, Mayor of Moj\u00e1car, gave a very positive evaluation of the completion of the project: \u201cRestoring and preserving the Pirulico Tower is not only an institutional responsibility, but also an act of respect for our history and our identity. With these works, Moj\u00e1car takes another step forward in its commitment to a sustainable tourism model, where heritage is the focus. Now, this icon is once again an accessible, safe place, ready to continue exciting those who visit us.\u201d
\nThe installation of efficient solar lighting not only guarantees the energy sustainability of the monument, but also completely transforms its presence in Moj\u00e1car’s nocturnal landscape. Thanks to this undertaking, the Pirulico Tower becomes a visual landmark visible from much of the coastline, especially from the municipality’s most visited beaches. This scenic effect creates an emotional connection between the visitor and the heritage, inviting them to rediscover the local history in a new light, literally. The tower, now also the focus at dusk, adds a new attraction to Moj\u00e1car’s tourist offer, extending its enjoyment beyond the daytime.<\/p>\n

The project also strengthens the municipality\u2019s tourist and cultural offer, integrating this spot into already consolidated interpretative and hiking routes in the area.
\nIn the words of the Tourism Councillor, Mar\u00eda Gracia Alarc\u00f3n: \u201cThe Pirulico Tower is much more than a historical construction; it is one of the main attractions for those who choose Moj\u00e1car in search of authenticity, landscape and history. With this action we guarantee its preservation and improve the experience of those who visit us, reinforcing Moj\u00e1car\u2019s image as a destination where the past is experienced with a future.\u201d
\nThe tower, located in the Bordonares area, is part of the inventory of municipal facilities and is situated in an enclave of high environmental value, designated as Non-Developable Land of Special Protection. The works have had the pertinent authorisations, including that of the Regional Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, complying with the regulations for the visual and landscape protection of the surroundings.
\nWith the reopening of the Pirulico Tower, Moj\u00e1car consolidates a line of work focused on the enhancement of its historical and natural heritage, integrating it respectfully into the municipality\u2019s tourism and cultural strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
