Our venues
We are very fortunate to have the use of two venues to hold our club and social events.
The prime location is La Mata Hotel Club, Mojácar Playa. See map below.
This is a private luxury club/hotel, not open to the general public but due to the generosity of the proprietors we
are able to use it for our various events. As well as the beautiful grounds the Club boasts a delightful traditional
Spanish lounge/ bar with a blazing log fire when the need arises. The outside grounds consist of a bowling green ,
tennis courts and a superb swimming pool. La Mata is usually used on alternate Thursdays and the Club will
endeavour to advise members as to the exact location by email or web site.
Failing this, a phone call on a Wednesday evening to 950 475 261 will give full details, timings and event details
for the following day.
The other venue for informal club 'get togethers' is the Cerveceria Asuntxu which is situated on Paseo
Mediterraneo Mojacar Playa, see map below. This is a traditional Spanish bar but with the novel feature that
several tables have a multi outlet beer engine from which you draw your own pint which is metered so you can
settle up when you leave. The Tapas here are excellent and very reasonably priced.
A half ration easily covers two.

The ‘Club Taurino de Mojácar’ was formed in August 2007 when we discovered that several of our friends
had a similar interest in the glamorous world of ‘Bullfighting’ or, as called by our Spanish hosts, the”feria
nacional”. Having said that, many of our members would never consider actually going to a corrida but are
interested to know more, so the club tries to provide information in a very social and convivial atmosphere.
30 attended the inaugural meeting, including matador Jose Olivencia, and now our membership is 251. We
regularly have about 40 friends to our meetings although some of our members do not live here full time but
join us when they can. At the request of members, we now meet weekly. We have no membership fees but at
venues where we incur a cost, we make a charge, normally 4 or 5 euros per person, to cover this and the use
of projector equipment when we show films.
We have taken groups of members on guided tours of the Plaza de Toros (Bullring) in Vera; to stay in Seville
for the Feria de abril and various Corridas (bullfights), locally. In May 2009, we had a 6 day Holiday in
Jerez/Cadiz and Ronda, for the Feria del Caballos. We also find that our club fulfills a social function in that,
although we live in beautiful surroundings, life can be a little lonely and dare I say it boring. The Club is
helping to fill this need and is proud of the number of new friendships and acquaintances that have already
formed.
We are also very aware that times are hard, with the appalling exchange rate and rapidly rising prices it can be
difficult to make ends meet. This being the case the Club is for its members, with no need to raise funds to
support other institutions or bodies, which means that all our functions are at COST price and therefore able to
appeal to a wide spectrum of the community.
Welcome to our circle, we hope you find our invitation interesting and as enjoyable as we do.
P.S. Why not bring your friends!
