A Little known area:
Mojacar is almost unique, nestled on a hillside in the Sierra Cabrera mountains, the dazzling white moorish dwellings cluster together overlooking steep, narrow alleyways draped in bougainvillaea. The village is said to have a history that can be traced back to 2000 B.C. The views from the Plaza Mirador Nueva are quite spectacular. Just a couple of miles below the village, is the very different world of Mojacar Playa. Here you will find a modern beach resort, which boasts miles of sand and plenty of beach bars, restaurants and shops. Aimed at the leisure-minded tourist, the resort has a relaxed pace as well as pleasing views of the sea, hilly countryside and the mountains beyond. You will not find high rise buildings, all night bars and clubs in this resort. If you prefer a relaxed, fun, peaceful holiday in an area of outstanding natural beauty, beautiful beaches and enjoy quality food, Mojacar is for you.
Beaches:
More than 10 miles of coastline with sandy beaches shelving gently towards the sea and varying from wide to fairly narrow, with rocky outcrops in places.
The closest beach to the apartment is approx. 500m away. The beach includes, sunbeds & parasols and a couple of beach bars.
For the most part, it is less developed than some, with plenty of space to enjoy, though small clusters of sun loungers and shades dot its length. Development tends to be clustered around the wider sections. Palmer Rumina Beach nearby and Garrucha beach have received the European blue flag. Various water sports (including windsurfing, water-skiing, jet-skiing, pedalloes and banana-boat rides) are available. The Water Park at Vera playa is also only a 10 min drive away and is an excellent family day out.
Golf in the area:
There are 4 golf courses in the area.
