| At the Laurie Lee memorial |
There is a memorial to Laurie Lee hidden away in a corner of the promenade that celebrates the writer's stay in the village. It contains a quote by Lee and a dedication from the village. They read:
A little before the Civil War I lived in a small village of Andalucian fishermen. I hid, on principle, its name for political reasons and referred to it as Castillo. Fortunately there is now no reason to be reticent and can call the village by its true name: Almuñécar.
The village of Almuñécar in recognition of the great writer Laurie Lee who lived in our village in the years (1935-1936), (1951-1952) and immortalised it under the name of 'Castillo' in his works 'As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning' and 'A Rose for Winter'.
