Mojacar |
Overview Undoubtedly the most romantic and picturesque holiday beach
resort town in south-eastern Spain, the white-washed houses and
cobbled streets of Mojacar are sprinkled atop a hill overlooking
pristine sandy beaches, washed by the warm Mediterranean. The
unspoilt ancient Moorish fortress town of Mojacar has been a
favourite with artists and writers for many years, and now attracts
holidaymakers who fill up the hotels and villas which have
proliferated along the nearby stretch of beach, fortunately not yet
to the detriment of the town's appearance or beguiling atmosphere.
The village centre is honeycombed with narrow casbah-like cobbled
alleyways, which hide many quaint surprises, like a Roman fountain
pumping fresh spring water and the unusual fortified church of
Santa Maria. Mojacar is the picture-perfect location for a beach
holiday in Spain.
Shopping The Commercial Centre is a large mall complex in the centre of
town with every modern convenience. Adventurous and inquisitive
tourists prepared to wander through the small alleyways of Mojacar
will be richly rewarded. Many of the narrow streets have hidden
treasures and for dedicated shoppers - small boutiques as well as a
variety of holiday souvenir shops.
Restaurants Mojacar's restaurants consist of a varied selection of
international eatery which complement its excellent Spanish tapas
bars and local seafood restaurants. Restaurante El Antler in Calle
Enmedio has been getting great reviews for over 25 years. Children
are always welcome in Mojacar restaurants. Famous local dishes
include
caldo de pescado (fish stew) and
pelotas
(meatballs wrapped in dark green cabbage leaves). Visit the nearby
town of Garuccho for their locally-caught red shrimp.
- We loved the Irish Rover for a taste of home, but Waikiki near the beach was great too and Kuki's makes a great beach bar. : Jesse...See More Tips | Add Tip
Nightlife The area on the Mojacar Playa known as the Brit Strip has
numerous pubs and British themed eateries. The best selection of
Mojacar bars can be found along the sea front, which is lined with
good beach bars, offering happy hours, free tapas and splendid
beach views. The larger hotels have lively bars and are worth
visiting on weekends for those seeking a big night out.
Activities Along the beachfront are various operators offering horse
riding, sailing, windsurfing, fishing and Scuba diving in the
surrounding area. There are currently 11 excellent golf courses
around Mojacar, three of which are championship quality. The old
town of Mojacar Pueblo is well worth a visit for the old buildings
and cobbled streets, while the waterpark in the nearby town of Vera
is a fun family excursion.
Negatives This is a laid-back resort town with limited entertainment
options for those wanting to spend their holiday in the town
itself. The old town is accessible only by steep and narrow roads
and is therefore unsuitable for people with mobility issues.
