Mojacar bar owner Tito del Amo has died at the age of 74 after a short battle with cancer.

More than 100 people attended a memorial service at his bar last Saturday to pay tribute to a man widely regarded as one of Mojacar’s most endearing characters.

US-born del Amo was one of the first immigrants to settle in Mojacar in the 1960s and came to embody the resort’s carefree, hippy lifestyle.
