La Canana House Museum

The Casa Museo La Canana is an ethnographic museum located in the historic center of Mojacar (Almeria), at Esteve Street No. 6, at the coordinates indicated. It is dedicated to recreate a traditional Mojácar house from the first half of the twentieth century, with a setting based on authentic objects of the time and the reconstruction of domestic and work spaces typical of a rural house in the village. The municipal tourist documentation describes the property as a house restored and recreated with the utmost respect for the materials and the original structure, preserving the appearance of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mojácar's own website states that the name comes from the nickname of its former owner, known as "La Canana", linked to the sale of tobacco and basic necessities. Among the most outstanding elements are the recreation of domestic rooms, the exhibition of antique furniture and utensils and an immersive museography that allows visitors to understand the daily life in Mojácar in that period. Provincial tourism sources also indicate that the space occupies more than 200 m² and was inaugurated as a museum resource in 2018. By its nature, this resource is not a monumental historical monument, but a heritage interpretation museum house focused on the domestic and ethnographic memory of Mojácar, closely linked to the material culture and traditional ways of life of the municipality.
