Mojacar, with its hill-top village
and beach resort offers both history & romance
and space for relaxation and recreation.
This majestic town is not to be talked about but to
be experienced and travelled over, from the overlooks
of the New plaza or Castle to the Encarnacion and
santa Maria churches and not forgetting the seventeenth
century Tower of Macenas of the tower of Perulico,
which dates from the nazarite era. In this pleasant
stroll you will also see everywhere you look the figure
of indalo, which has become the principal symbol of
the city nailed to doors, painted on walls, on fences
or on the ceramics in shops.
The mythical rainbow god thus insures a good climate
the year round. Any season is good for visiting Mojacar,
but especially spring during its splendid Holy week,
and although some may say that it is impossible to
stop here during the summer if you don’t you’ll
miss one of the best presentations of Moors and Christians
in all of Spain. For sleeping, there is nothing more
relaxing than the parador nacional in mojacar which
overlooks the beach with its numerous restaurants
and stands.
