Mojácar is one of Andalusia's most celebrated 'Pueblos Blancos,' perched dramatically on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The town is divided into two distinct zones: Mojácar Pueblo, the historic old town with its labyrinth of narrow, flower-lined streets and Moorish influence, and Mojácar Playa, a modern coastal strip offering miles of sandy beaches and amenities. Visitors can wander through the ancient gateway of Puerta de la Ciudad, discover hidden plazas, and enjoy local crafts. Its unique position provides a perfect mix of cultural heritage and seaside relaxation, making it a standout destination in southeastern Spain.
