CAR Mislata (Centro de Acogida a Refugiados) is a state-run primary reception facility situated in the municipality of Mislata, Valencia. Inaugurated in 1991 in response to the Gulf War, it is one of the foundational public centres in Spain’s national asylum reception network.

Context & Operations: The centre is directly administered by the Spanish central government (Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad Social y Migraciones). It offers temporary accommodation, comprehensive social assistance, legal counseling, and psychological support for asylum seekers and refugees arriving in Spain. It has historically hosted diverse demographic groups fleeing international conflicts, operating as an open facility focused on integration.

Community Impact: Integrated closely into the urban fabric of Mislata, the facility relies on coordination with local municipal services, including health and education, to support its resident population.
