Mojacar
|
|
There are two areas of Mojacar, the beach (playa) and the town (pueblo). The town is cut into the hillside perched on the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera mountains, overlooking the Mediterranean coastline. It is called the "hanging village" as the houses look as though they are hanging off the mountain.
A magnet for artists of all disciplines the craft stalls are overloaded with quality goods and paintings.
It is easy to forget you are in the 21st century as you walk through the narrow white streets, until you emerge into the plaza where you are struck by the Mediterranean, sharing the view of those great Moorish generals of days long ago.
History merges with the present here as you find yourself travelling forward in time to the bustling Mojacar playa from the Moorish fortified town only minutes away in the distance. |

Although Mojacar pueblo remains the same as it has for centuries, Mojacar playa is a recent development and has a 9km stretch of sandy beaches perfectly manicured.
Mojacar playa has many features of a holiday resort with an array of fine restaurants, bars, first class hotels and shops to cater for all tastes. In fact an ideal holiday destination. |
