Audio Guide of the Public Fountain of Mojácar

As it is a monument located in an open public space, the fountain is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You can visit at any time, although daylight lets you better appreciate the details of the 13 spouts and the historic inscription.

The visit is completely free, and you do not need to buy a ticket. It is one of Mojácar's historic treasures that you can enjoy at no cost, ideal for including in your walk through the town.

The visit is brief but meaningful; generally, about 15 to 20 minutes are enough. This gives you time to drink its water, read the commemorative plaque about the handover of the town, and take some photographs.

It is a key site where, according to legend, the peaceful surrender of Mojácar to the Catholic Monarchs was negotiated in 1488. The old inscription recounts this crucial meeting, making the fountain a symbol of coexistence and historical respect.

Any time of year is good, but in summer you will appreciate its cool water; I recommend going early in the morning or at sunset to avoid intense heat and crowds. If you are looking for a quieter atmosphere, avoid the middle hours of the day in high season.

The fountain is in the lower part of the town, and access is paved and relatively flat in its immediate surroundings, making it more accessible than the steep streets higher up in the old quarter. However, keep in mind that Mojácar in general has pronounced slopes.

Right next to it you will find the 'La Fuente' Art Center, located in the old municipal washhouse. From there, you can begin the climb toward Plaza Nueva and enjoy the incredible views from the lookout point, or visit the Church of Santa María.

Do not forget to bring an empty bottle to fill with the fountain's water, which is drinkable and highly appreciated by locals. It will also serve as your starting point and a refreshment before heading up to explore the winding streets of Mojácar town.
