Mojácar, a village that surprises the traveler.

Mojácar is impressive from afar. The majestic cluster of white houses, huddled together and perched on the last spur of the Sierra de Cabrera, looms large over the traveller. Then, once inside the labyrinth, a more intimate beauty is revealed along its narrow streets, adorned with flowers in intense colours that stand out against the white of the houses and the deep blue of the sky. Every corner captivates us, takes us back to its Arab past and shows us the everyday life of its residents. 

Since ancient times, many peoples and cultures have inhabited this Municipality, a prize coveted by all. Mojácar, thanks to the lookout position of its village, its coastline, the mildness of its climate and, today, its quality of life, is a highly valued place. The character of its people is open and friendly, accustomed to sharing and conversing with visitors, who in many cases end up becoming one more neighbour. They are careful with their surroundings and adorn their façades with pots and flowers.

In Mojácar the houses rise up the mountainside, creating a striking visual impact: the white of the houses, the browns of the earth, and the blue of the sky and sea. The roofs are flat or terraced, giving the impression of cube-like, impenetrable houses, where the tourist from outside cannot make out their labyrinthine and steep streets. In the past, adobe and stone were used to form vaulted roofs; today, white is the protagonist of Mojácar's architecture.
