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.
Down 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 Mojacar is a must for those in search of a sun drenched outdoor lifestyle.
Access to the hillside Mojacar pueblo and transport between Mojacar Playas` 5km of bars, restaurants, street cafes and shops is made easy with plenty of local buses and taxis. Local road networks along the coast line and motorways into Almeria, Granada and other major cities are excellent and rarely if ever congested making exploration of the Province a pleasure. With good local schools and sports facilities, including a newly proposed sports centre Mojacar is an ideal spot for those wishing to re-locate with children.
