Costa Almeria Property For Sale

The Area

Mojacar lies on the Mediterranean Sea in the sunny south east corner of Spain. The nearest airport, Almeria, is just fifty five minutes away and Alicante airport can be reached in just over two hours on the motorway. The area has an excellent dry sunny climate with an average of 320 days sunshine per year.

Mojacar itself stands on top of a hill, the buildings are white the flowers profuse and many of the streets are traffic free. The views are truly magnificent overlooking the coast and the inland plain towards the mountains. Apart from the delights of the many bars and excellent restaurants in both Mojacar itself and the general area there is 17kms of beach which makes a wide range of water sports possible. Moorings for boats are available in Barrucha, a small fishing and sailing port 7km up the coast.

Construction has always been controlled in Mojacar, no high rise buildings. The regulations stipulate two stories for dwellings and three for hotels and this has helped to conserve the beauty and enchantment of the village. It is a tranquil, unsophisticated place and will not appeal to those wanting casinos or smart nightclubs.

The Romans called Mojacar Montem Sanctum or Sacred Mountain, the Moors held fast to their home making peace long after their neighbours had fallen to their christian opponents. After that peace a new inflow of Christians arrived from the Kingdom of Murcia. Since the 1950s yet another influx of outsiders has come in. Today you are just as likely to hear English, French, German or Dutch spoken as you are Spanish.

Activities

For golfers there is a nine hole course at Cortijo Grande and the area boasts two lawn bowls clubs. For horse enthusiasts there are at least four riding establishments and there is a selection of tennis courts, squash courts, mini golf etc. Archeologists, Botanists, and Geologists will delight in the area, the spectacular light has made Mojacar a mecca for painters and artists of all schools. Something for everyone in fact and because of the wonderful climate year round too. Granada ski slopes, where the 1995 world ski championships took place can be reached in an easy three hour drive.
