Mojacar is clearly one of the most beautiful, picturesque and enchanting villages on the entire coast, with some 17 kilometres of fine, sandy beaches. It is situated in the South Eastern province of Almeria, some 90 kilometres from the city, and enjoys an excellent location, protected from behind the Cabrera mountain range and overlooking the inviting Mediterranean sea. Its Southerly location, close proximity to the African continent and the high surrounding mountains assures an exceptional subtropical climate, where temperatures are kind all year round with an average of 21 degrees Celsius.

The town is divided into two areas, the original village, Majocar la Vieja, two kilometres from the coast, and Mojocar Playa which accommodates the tourist developments and offers a complete range of services, and attractions, whilst still in keeping with the local environment.

The climate allows for an abundance of wild flowers and herbs, and this area is host to a large variety of birds including linnets, swifts, green finches, woodlark, hoopoes, magpies and partridges. No other corner of Andalucia can boast such a rich heritage with a Moorish past, and has been settled by many people since antiquity and populated since the bronze age. Mojocar today still remains loyal to her past with her architecture, and white washed houses cut into the cliff.
