Why Mojacar?
Mojacar Playa is in the province of Almeria in the South East of Spain and has the sunniest and driest climate in Europe, with over 300 days of sunshine a year. The area has a great variety of landscape and facilities and yet it is one of the few places on the Mediterranean where you can still find deserted beaches and countryside with no intensive tourism. Cheap flights into Almeria airport (40 mins drive) have increased considerably with Easyjet and Ryanair or alternatively it is less than 2 hours drive on the uncongested motorways from Alicante and Murcia airports.
Costa Almeria’s warm and sunny coastline makes holidaying there a pleasant experience from March through to end November. Even in winter you can enjoy an average of 6 hrs sun a day with clear blue skies, or for a complete change of scene drive 3 hrs inland to the Sierra Nevada and enjoy some excellent snow skiing. This environment encourages an outdoor life with plenty of scope for families, golfers, walkers/tourers, and those wishing to participate in water/beach activities. Or perhaps relaxing in the nearby attractive bars and restaurants enjoying the local food and wine and watching the world go by.
The area around Mojacar Playa boasts 17 kilometres of beaches and open coves, numerous golf courses, picturesque towns and villages with white Moorish houses full of tradition, history and charm. Modern development is being built with respect for the local environment. The area is also the most productive and fertile market garden area of the whole continent. The locals are outgoing and hospitable and ready to welcome you warmly. Most speak some English and are very patient with holiday makers trying out their language skills.
It is no surprise that this area, known throughout Spain as El Rincon del Embrujo (The Corner of Enchantment) attracts quality tourists from Europe and Northern Spain looking for the real Spain with no cities and few high rise developments of other resorts.
