Travel:
If you wish to travel by air there are three airports that service the area. The closest is Almeria, a 50 mins. drive from the apartment. Flights depart daily from the UK.
The others are Alicante, about 2hr. 15mins. drive and Murcia, a 1hr. 15mins. drive on the new toll road. all the roads to Mojacar from the airports are of motorway standard.
It is also worth checking the low cost airlines such as Easyjet and RyanAir as well as charter companies who now release flight only seats such as Monarch.
If you do not hire a car the only mode of transport from the airport is taxi or we could help with a private pick up that is cheaper than a taxi.
All airports have car rental companies but it can be cheaper to book at home before departure.
The bus service in Mojacar is quite good as is the new central reservation taxi service.
Golf:
The Marina Golf course that the apartment overlooks is on Marina de la Torre and is divided in two by a headland which gives wonderful views of the sea to one side and cultivated landscapes to the other. It is an 18 hole, 72 par course that features three strategically situated lakes. It ws designed by Ramon Espinosa and opened in 2001. Services include a restaurant, cafe, shop,school, equipment and buggy hire.
Many other Golf courses can be found close by such as the renowned Desert Springs, Valle del Este and the Cortijo Grande.
Weather / Culture:
It is said that the sun shines for 340 days in Mojacar making it suitable all year round.
It is also home to the Indalo man - the symbol of Almeria - you will see it all over the region if you visit. It is said that if one is given to you it means you will return to Mojacar!
If you wish to venture further afield a day trip can be taken to Granada to see the fabulous Moorish Ahambra Palace or in winter go skiing in the Sierra Nevada mountains. There are also ancient cave paintings to be seen in Sorbas and Cuevas.
