Further Details
MOJACAR:
Mojácar is divided into two areas; firstly the picturesque hilltop town of Mojácar Pueblo, with it's unique Moorish feel, narrow streets and whitewashed properties. Then there is Mojácar Playa - a modern tourist, resort running along the coast.
Mojácar Playa has become a popular holiday destination over the past few years and it is well serviced for visitors. The beaches stretch for miles, they are safe and clean and all major watersports are available to try out. Away from the water, Mojácar Playa has a great selection of restaurants. If you've hired a car, Mini Hollywood and the Waterpark are only a short distance away.
FACILITIES:
Located near the small Spanish towns of Bedar, Los Gallardos and Turre, the property is ideally situated between the coastal resort of Mojacar beach, with its laid back beach bars and sophisticated restaurants, and the more traditional inland towns of Turre, Bedar and Los Gallardos with their traditional tapas bars and Spanish restaurants, which are within a few minutes' drive of Casa en la Colina. In addition, the property is also situated within 3 minutes walking distance to the village bar/restaurant with swimming pool which serves an a-la-carte menu, including fresh fish and steaks, alongwith daytime snacks.
There are numerous supermarkets, banks and doctors in the area. Form E111 or the European Health Insurance card, available at post offices in the UK, although not acceptable in some places, is very useful in this area to obtain free medical assistance.
Mojacar is appx. 10 minutes drive from the villa and is the largest and most popular tourist centre of this south eastern corner of Spain. The present day town ('pueblo') has developed from one of the most ancient communities in the whole of Spain with a history which stretches back more than 4,000 years. The area was once dominated by the Moors and to this day, the old town of Mojacar resembles a Moroccan village more than an international tourist resort. A visit to Mojacar is well worthwhile with its twisting labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets, old arches and domed houses stacked one above the other. The Mojacar pueblo (old town) has magnificent panoramic views overlooking the mountains, valley & sea and is filled with superb restaurants, small privately owned boutiques, charming squares and intimate bars. Only 2km away, down at the seafront of 'Mojacar Playa', you are in another world of international restaurants and bars offering a wide variety of cuisine. The result is a lively resort which offers plenty of activities for the foreign holidaymaker, whilst retaining its traditional Spanish charm and character.
There are many outdoor markets held in the surrounding villages during the week, a list of these and other facilities are available at the villa.
Sports - Golf, horse riding, pony trekking, green bowling and go - karting are all available in the immediate area. On the 17 kms of beaches, which have been awarded 3 blue Europan flags for cleanliness, one will find wind surfing, water ski-ing, sea caneoing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, scuba diving, jet skis and, of course, the obligatory banana ride! There is also an Aqua Park well worth a trip for those with children.
Approx. 45 minutes inland, near the village of Tabernas, you can visit Europe's only desert region. Visit 'Mini Hollywood' where numerous Italian and American films were shot including 'A Fistful of Dollars' (Clint Eastwood) and part of the epic Peter O'Toole movie 'Lawrence of Arabia'.
For those who don't mind travelling for apx 2 hours, why not take a complete day out, or even an overnight stay, and visit the magnificent Alhambra, situated in Granada. The Alhambra was a Palace, citadel, fortress and home of the Nasrid sultants, high governmnt officials, servants of the court and elite soldiers from the 13th to 15th century.
In summary, this area of Spain is the ideal destination for those of you seeking a peaceful holiday. The major nearby towns provide good amenities and Spanish restaurants and bars, whilst the coastal area of Mojacar Playa has no high rise buildings and boasts a nightlife that would satisfy most.
