Mojacar
What's the appeal?
Mojacar lies on the Costa Almeria in the south of Spain – you can fly to Almeria airport in about 3 hours from most UK airports – then it’s around an hour’s drive. Mojacar has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and was a major town for the Greeks, Romans and Moors. Local legend claims that Walt Disney was born here in 1905 before emigrating to America. Mojacar is split into two parts: Mojacar Playa by the coast (16km) which is the lively tourist area with all its beautiful beaches, hotels, shops and restaurants; and Mojacar Pueblo, the old, whitewashed town in the hills, which has more of a traditional Andalusian feel.
