Ancient
in origin and arabic in appearance, Mojácar spills down a hill in the foothills
of the Sierra Cabrera. In spite of the slow destruction that it has been subjected
to, it preserves its peculiar structure of stepped terraces and charming narrow
little streets. Down the hill, on the coast, are more than five kilometers
of beachfront along which there has been considerable urban development. Notably,
there are twelve kilometers of virgin beaches and coves which reach to the borders
of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park. Mojácar attracts visitors from all over
the globe and a great many find themselves returning, often to live. Mojácar is
undoubtedly the most cosmopolitan place in the whole region.
