Mojacar sits on Spain's Costa Almeria and pairs a pretty whitewashed hilltop village with a long, sunny stretch of beach below. It is a relaxed corner of the Spanish coast that appeals to UK couples and families who want classic Mediterranean sun without the crowds of the bigger costas.

The region is one of the driest and sunniest in mainland Spain, so the weather is reliable across a long season, and the laid-back pace makes it easy to unwind.

Getting there and when to go

The nearest airport is Almeria, with Alicante and Murcia also within reach for a longer transfer, and flights run from several UK airports. With its dry, sunny climate Mojacar is enjoyable from late spring through to autumn, with the warmest seas and busiest weeks in mid summer.

Beaches and resorts

The beaches along this part of Costa Almeria are long and open, a mix of sand and shingle with a promenade running behind. The old village of Mojacar, up on its hill, is worth the trip for its narrow white streets and views over the coast and countryside.
