History

Unlike in any other place of Andalusia, Mojácar maintains an admirable faithfulness towards its Arabic past. Its exceptional mountain top position, which dominates across the Mediterranean's coastline, was sought by many ancient civilisations.

Tourism, far from destroying the authentic physiognomy of the town and its people, has ensured that visitors continue to admire the village's history, architecture, white coloured houses and welcoming people that inherited tolerance and coexistence with other cultures and religions from their ancestor's.

The village of Mojácar rests on a mountain at a 175 m. of altitude over sea level, in a small valley of the Cabrera mountain range. Its white houses and narrow and steep streets are a result of the influence that the Arabic World once had over this village.

The beaches of this municipality are situated by the foothills of these mountains and occupy a total of 17km of the Mediterranean coast, where you can find from secluded bays to vibrant beaches. The urbanised beach areas offer a wide variety of restaurants, accommodation, shops and leisure areas. at all times respecting the village's architecture such as the height, shape and colour of its constructions. Additionally, 12 Km of these beaches have been preserved of constructions and services and therefore are protected natural treasures, ideal for hiking all year round.
