Mojacar is located 98 km from the provincial capital of Almeria City on the Costa de Almeria. The town of Mojacar clings to a rocky hillside like a gargoyle watching over the Mediterranean Sea and remains remarkably true to its Moorish past. This area is perfect for walking and offers incredible views with every step. The road up to the town whispers echoes of the past and historical landmarks such as La Fuente Mora, Puerta de la Almedina, Casa del Torreón, and La Iglesia de Santa María tell the stories of this fascinating ancient village. Restaurants, bars and craft shops lay waiting to be discovered along with the hospitality of the friendly locals. The superb beach of Mojacar Playa joins with Garrucha Playa, Puerto Rey, Vera Playa, Palomares and Villaricos to form an almost continuous coastline of wide sandy beaches and rocky headlands. There is a myriad of new holiday resorts, new golf courses, old beach bars, nudist beaches, fine restaurants, family run and four star hotels, and shops catering for all tastes.
