Mojacar

Mojacar, Almeria, Spain
Mojacar is located 60 miles East from Almeria airport. The majority of visitors head for the beach resort, where you will find a wide choice of accomodation.
It is perhaps not so overcrowded as some of the neighbouring resorts on the Costa del Sol and still has a relaxed feel for the many tourists that return year after year.
The resort is flanked by hills and the mountains beyond.
Mojacar beach resort boasts more than 10 miles of course sandy beaches which shelve gently into the sea. The most popular beach is the Palmer Rumina Beach which has recently won the European Blue Flag. A variety of water sports can be enjoyed in the area although care must be taken as the waves can be strong.
Shopping in the resort is varied from souvenir shops to local ceramics and handicrafts. The "Indalo" ancient charm features prominently on many of the goods sold. There are weekly markets held on a Wednesday morning and the Flea market on Sunday morning.
Eating out is varied and the choice is good from traditional Spanish cuisine to a wide choice of International themed restaurants. You can also find seafood restaurants to sample the local catch.
Daytime activities are varied with a good choice of sports including golf, minigolf, go-karting fishing, tennis to name a few.
The village of Mojacar which is located approx 1.75 miles uphill from the beach resort is a delight to visit with narrow cobbled streets and the typical whitewashed Moorish houses of the region. It is home to the famous "Indalo" which is an ancient good luck symbol in the shape of a human figure. The panoramic views and the close proximity to the sea have made it popular recently with clients moving to the area. Worth a visit is the Moorish fortress of El Torreon and the Arch of Luciana. There are a number of local restaurants and tapas bars in the village to sample authentic cuisine.
Mojacar is a resort that will appeal to old and young alike and is a particular favourite with the family market.
