Mojacar
pueblo is a pretty hilltop village located approximately
one hour drive from Almeria modern international airport.
Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera mountain
range, its whitewashed houses appear almost to have been
built on top of one another around a labyrinth of charming
cobbled streets. Each turn providing a new and delightful
mix of the ancient and modern. While offering a highly
cosmopolitan array of shops, boutiques and international
restaurants, Mojacar pueblo manages to retain refreshingly
unspoilt old world charm.

the hillside and toward a magnificent stretch of coastline
Mojacar Playa is home to four 5 star hotels and boasts
a world class 18 hole golf course, designed by the internationally
acclaimed Ramon Espinosa. Sited at the luxurious urbanization
of Marina de la Torres it offers a first class club house,
sports shop, restaurant and bars and all directly opposite
some of the areas finest sandy beaches.
The
Almeria province is characterized by its excellent year
round climate and abundance of sunshine (more than 5000
hours per year). As temperatures in Mojacar rise to an
average of 99F during July and August, the beautiful coastline
is an obvious attraction. With its wide range of water
sports including snorkeling, water skiing and wind sailing

outdoor lifestyle.
