Mojacar lies within an area renowned for it's sunny climate, said to be the best in Europe. The mountain top village has a distinct Moorish character. Said to be the birthplace of Walt Disney, the village is aptly labelled 'The Corner of Enchantment.' Sleepy by day it springs to life at night when its narrow streets and quaint bars and restaurants are enjoyed by people from all parts of the globe. There are many local colourful 'Fiestas' each year, some reflecting the historic conflicts between the Moors and the Christians. A few miles away lies the pretty town of Vera, with its magnificent bullring, still in use today following its renovation. The nearby fishing port of Garrucha is known for its excellent sea food restaurants. In summer, families can enjoy a day at the Aqua Park located in the Vera Playa area. For those who enjoy natural beauty, there are numerous beaches, stunning mountain scenery, and the famous Cabo de Gata National Park. Granada is about a 3 hour drive.
