About Mojácar

Mojácar lies on the coast of Almería in eastern Andalusia, with its old town on a hill above a broad beach. Whitewashed lanes wind up to the church and a viewpoint over the sea, and the beach strip below runs for several kilometres. The desert landscapes of the Cabo de Gata natural park and the town of Carboneras lie along the coast nearby. May to October suits swimming and the shore; spring and autumn are milder and quieter, and winters are mild and dry.
