Spilling down the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera on the South East coast of Spain, is the beautiful resort of Mojacar. Split into two distinct areas approximately two kilometres apart, the traditional hilltop village of 'Mojacar Pueblo' and, in complete contrast, the modern coastal strip of 'Mojacar Playa'. The combination of both makes Mojacar undoubtedly the most cosmopolitan area in the region. The Pueblo is a very attractive village, with its steep, narrow streets of cube-shaped, whitewashed houses and profusion of flowers, completes this picture postcard scene. In the heart of Mojacar Pueblo is the square of Plaza Nueva, from which there are stunning views of the coast and the mountains of the Sierra Cabrera. About a mile from Mojacar Pueblo is the coastal resort of Mojacar Playa, which contains all the ingredients needed for an enjoyable beach holiday. There are a variety of restaurants offering a range of cuisine or f you want to dance the night away there is no shortage of discos and music bars open late during the summer months. Mojacar Playa also has a commercial centre with shops, restaurants, banks, supermarkets and a medical centre. From Mojacar playa, take a trip just a little further along to the fishing harbour at Garrucha. The fishing boats set off just before dawn and return in the afternoon with their catch, where you can buy fresh fish at the fish market by the quayside.
