Mojacar
Mojacar is a charming jumble of whitewashed, sugar-cube houses, perched on a hilltop and overlooking a golden-sanded beach. The village itself is an atmospheric labyrinth of twisting, cobbled streets and Moorish architecture, housing hidden cafés and quirky shops. Holidays to Mojacar are ideal if you want a slice of Spanish charm and a beautiful beach on which to soak up some sun.
Although the resort is believed to be the birthplace of Mickey Mouse creator, Walt Disney, you won’t find any theme parks in the village: holidays here are low-key, designed to help you leave all the stresses and strains of life behind you. With superb, rustic restaurants and traditional tavernas serving local cuisine and some stunning countryside to explore, you can make your holidays just what you want them to be.
Things to do
An ideal spot for families and couples who want to take things easy, Mojocar offers a wealth of things to see and do. If you can tear yourself from the sun-kissed beach, you can explore the incredible countryside by bike, or even ride a horse along the coast. The old town is the perfect place to take a wander or grab a leisurely lunch in one of the bustling squares. By night, enjoy a cool drink in a taverna and watch the sun set.
Excellent beaches
Mojacar’s exquisite coast has a 17 km sweep of soft sand that shelves gently into shallow waters, meaning a day at the beach can be enjoyed by the whole family. There are three stunning Blue Flag beaches that are exceptionally clean and well maintained. Thrill seekers can try their hand at a wide range of water sports; choose from jet skis, pedaloes, banana boats and even paragliding.
If you want to stay out of the water, recline on a sun lounger and soak up the summer sun and you take in the natural beauty of the golden sand, shimmering waters and mountainous backdrop of Mojacar’s coastline.
History and culture
Mojacar has a vibrant history that dates back 4000 years to the Bronze Age. It‘s rich in Moorish heritage, as Catholic Monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel took the town from the moors in the late 15th century. Mojacar’s name originally stems from the Arabic word ‘Munsagar’ and you’ll still find an element of Arabic culture in its architecture and old Moorish fortress.
You’ll be able to explore the well preserved ruins and experience the traditional customs. As you’re exploring, you may come across the Arabic hamsa hand symbol painted on front doors; this superstition warns off bad spirits and protected the homeowner from the evil eye.
Nightlife
Mojacar has a good range of bars and restaurants to enjoy throughout the evening. You could either have a delicious meal by the coast and watch the sunset on the shimmering horizon, or listen to live music and dance the night away in one of the cocktail bars. The nightlife may be a bit too quiet for some as there are only a few places open until the early hours of the morning.
If you’re traveling in summer, you may find a substantial amount of evening entertainment organised by your hotel including flamenco performances, karaoke and clubs for teenagers and younger children.

Roquetas de Mar
If you’re looking for a quiet slice of Spanish paradise where the beach is the star of the show, then book your holidays to Roquetas de Mar. Popular with families and couples who want some laid-back leisure time together, this resort is the place to go if you want to enjoy the simple things in life. The beach is enormous, stretching a good 1,300 metres long and 80 metres wide, so there’s space for everyone!
By the time the sun sets the promenade starts to come to life, with families out for a stroll, and couples checking out the rows of tents lit by fairy lights and selling trinkets, jewellery and arts and crafts.
Don’t panic if you’re travelling with children because they won’t have time to get bored. There are water parks and aquariums just a bus-ride away and the low-key nightlife won’t keep little ones up past their bedtime.
Things to do
Whether you’re holidaying with the family, your partner or with friends, there’s always something to do in Roquetas de Mar. Beyond the temptations of the beach, you’ll find some excellent shops along the seafront during the day, and pop-up stalls aplenty by night. Foodies will enjoy the range of traditional Spanish food, from tempting tapas to fresh fish and local meats.
If you’ve got kids, spend a day visiting the local aquarium or heading out to the Caba de Gato national park, which has acres of lush countryside rife with rare birds and fascinating wildlife.
Excellent beaches
There are several Blue Flag beaches along the coast, which provide a variety of spacious settings for you to relax in. You’re bound to find something you like, as some are made from a mix of shingle and sand, whilst others are made of sand that is powdery and white. However, what they all have in common is that they’re safe, clean and shelve gently into calm, warm waves.
Swaying palm trees and lush greenery is the backdrop to most of the beaches, which all have fantastic amenities and nearby cafés. Relax on sun loungers and take in the picturesque views of the coast. If you want a more upbeat beach day, Playa de Las Salinas is close by and provides a variety of water sports, ranging from jet skiing to paragliding.
History and culture
Once a small fishing village, Roquetas de Mar can be dated back to the Roman era. Its traditions can still be seen through their annual festivals, Moorish narrow streets and whitewash houses that blanket the hillside. Visit the military castle along the coast and learn about the history of the resort in the fascinating museums.
Visit Roquetas de Mar for a laid back holiday with a mix of modern amenities and beautiful landscapes. There’s a great range of restaurants, activities and shopping opportunities like The Grand Plaza Park and the weekly street market.
The nightlife
The nightlife in Roquetas de Mar is rather low key with the majority of after dark activities found in the bars, restaurants and hotels. This said, the evening entertainment does continue late into the evening, so it’s the perfect place for a late dinner and a cocktail or two afterwards. Dine on a delicious meal and choose from a range of menus including Chinese, Indian, Italian and traditional Spanish cuisine. Enjoy the upbeat atmosphere and live music found in the bars around the resort.
