Mojacar Travel Guide

Mojacar

Overview: Undoubtedly the most romantic and picturesque holiday 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.

Restaurants: While in Mojacar, holidaymakers should be sure to dine at Torre Bahia, Bar El Cid, Chefs or Tex-Mex La Cantina.
Negatives: The water can get a bit choppy and families travelling with small children should make sure they are being watched when swimming. Nightlife is very limited and young singles should consider this before booking.
