Garrucha, Sun & Seafood :
Garrucha is a beautiful and lively fishing town that still retains much of its original charm. Over the last few years it has become a popular tourist destination. Its tourist slogan is “Garrucha, Sun and Seafood”; the town is famous for the quality of its large red prawns, only fished in the local waters. Garrucha has a strong fishing industry, its main source of income, with a large port for both commercial and leisure pursuits.
Garrucha has a great selection of restaurants and bars with many excellent seafood restaurants found along the seafront serving the fresh catch of the day. They are supplied with fresh fish from nearby port, if you find yourself down on the seafront at dawn you will experience the typically Mediterranean sight of a flotilla of small fishing boats setting out to sea. Later the fishermen host a daily fish auction each afternoon at a quayside fish market.
Local Activites:
Garrucha and surrounding towns have all the activities you could wish for on holiday - from sea fishing to banana boat rides! Garrucha also offers the most popular street market of this area on a Friday morning.
The long promenade is very popular for evening dining and strolls, offering several children play areas along the beach and prom, with the summer fairground and craft stalls open late into the evening. A super place for all ages!
Sports:
Horse riding, a game of tennis, or squash, paddle-tennis, mini-golf or lawn-bowls, or perhaps even a micro-light sortie over our panoramic landscapes are just some of the many other sporting options available. The consolidation of Mojácar as a golf destination can be justified fundamentally on three characteristics: the climate, the quality of the installations and the diversity of the courses found locally.
