A visit to Mojacar Playa is actually a visit to not one, but two different places. The Old Spanish / Arabish part with white house on the hills and the new tourist area. The two are great and offer you a wonderful holiday. There are a host of things you can do on a trip here.
The old part of the town is quite an interesting one, with its old world roads and shops. A visit here will have you soaking in an atmosphere that proudly declares that it has its roots in days gone by. There are many restaurants along the way where you can try some interesting local cuisine. Once you reach the top of the village, you get to see a spectacular view of the only western style desert in Europe. It is quite breathtaking! You can even go horse riding into the canyons and gorges.
How about taking in the sights on a guided cycling trip? If you enjoy cycling, you can hire a cycle and go on a trip to discover the town. You can set out on your own at your own pace and discover quaint things like street art exhibition and have a coffee on the beach before exploring the village streets. Head to Carboneres and you will appreciate the great roads before the spectacular views at the top make you speechless!
The weekly market held on Wednesdays is a thing to experience: you will find just about everything there. The atmosphere is quite festive and charged. With so much on offer, it tends to get crowded, so it may be practical to take a bus to the place.
Some of the best coastlines for diving are also found in Mojacar and along with the clean water and interesting dive spots, makes it irresistible! If you have no idea of diving, don’t be disappointed as there are schools that offer all levels of tuition.
Besides this, you can take a Jeep safari, Quad treks or the Discovery Tour to know the place in a way you will remember for years to come. In fact, the people running these are quite helpful and try to get you the most of whatever you want to do. There is also western theme park that you must visit. Make sure you reach before the daily shootout when the Sheriff shoots down some tough looking characters!
