Almócita, a town with Arab roots founded by the descendants of Tubal, is known for the parish church of Our Lady of Mercy. The urban structure preserves traces of the Arab era, with streets that betray its origins. The Lower Quarter houses the old Jewish Quarter and the Moorish architecture in the city center is the best preserved in the province.

Almócita is a town with Muslim reminiscences, beginning with its name and continuing with the drawing of its streets.
I recommend that you make a stop to visit the town: its walls hide poetry and urban art drawings that, together with the cobbled streets, its monuments and fountains, enrich the whole.

The world is colorful - in Almócita! The small village in the middle of the Alpujarra not only adorns its house facades with colorful paintings and freely interpretable poetry, it also has a very special world record: namely the one for the largest working oil lamp. (Yes, there is, it seems, an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for this as well.) Once a year this is celebrated with the “Noche de los Candiles”, usually on the first weekend in May. Stopping by is worth it, because then the whole village steals in the glow of torches and oil lamps - and the big one is allowed to burn too.
