Located in the Axarquia region of Malaga, it is a village with deep roots in the Muslim era, which is reflected in the layout of its streets and its name, possibly derived from "Moclín", meaning "place of district". Viticulture, especially the cultivation of the muscatel grape, has for centuries been the mainstay of its economy and culture. This tradition is celebrated every second Sunday in September in the Fiesta de Viñeros, which pays tribute to the work of the grape harvest and the making of Muscatel wine, including live performances of the treading of the grapes and the pressing of the sultanas. Moclinejo's cultural heritage is enriched by the Church of Nuestra Señora de Gracia, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, and the Casa Museo Axarquía, which exhibits antique utensils and works by local artists.
In addition, the village is part of the Raisin Route and the Wine Route, highlighting its contribution to the recognition of the Muscatel sultana as an Important System of World Agricultural Heritage by the FAO.
