Mojacar is quite unlike any of the other coastal towns in Spain, here you will not find high-rise buidings as found in many spanish resorts. What you will find is a friendly place with a unique 'home from home' feel about it, ideal for family holidays, set between the Sierra Cabrera mountains and the warm waters of the Mediterranean where the sun shines more than anywhere else in Europe. Building height is strictly limited to a maximum of three levels and the unique North African influence is very strong with flat roofs and domes everywhere. There are over 17kms of blue flag beaches (the best beach is right in front of the Bajos del Bancal apartments with soft sand and palm trees) a short drive will take you to the wonderful natural beaches of the Cabo de Gata natural park (just past Carboneras) these beaches are probably the best in the whole of southern Spain. Once people have discovered Mojácar they normally return many times, if you are looking for a break away from the stresses of life in a friendly place with warm sunshine, low prices and a welcome from the locals then Mojácar is for you. However if you are looking for some more life you will find it during the months of July and August when Spanish families take their holiday in Mojácar, it can be especially busy at the weekends, although the beaches are never crowded. Mojácar has plenty of places to eat and drink, some of the restaurants and bars are very good quality, some are very good value for money but all are family friendly. There are some very good golf courses, the course 'Valle del Este' near Vera is 1st class, there is a water park at Vera.
