Location - Mojacar
|
Mojácar belongs to Spain's most famous region Andalusia. Due to its typical southern lifestyle, the perfect climate, the 871 km. coast line, the phenomenal gastronomy, and the local festivals, Andalusia is by far the most popular area of the Spanish Costa amongst holidaymakers and residents looking for a (second) home abroad. Because of the regions perfect infrastructure, after just 45 minutes drive from Almería airport, you reach one of the most beautiful, picturesque and fascinating parts of the entire Spanish coastline: Mojácar. Steeped in Moorish history, Mojácar offers a fantastic backdrop of mountains, long sandy beaches, nature reserves, several top class 18-hole golf courses, and a typical Spanish atmosphere with quaint old buildings, and a whole host of facilities amongst which an excellent choice of restaurants. A hilltop village of whitewashed houses and a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets packed with tiny shops, just 1,5 km inland from the more modern resort and beach area of Mojacar Playa, which is where you find our development Terrazas del Golf.
Today, Mojácar remains loyal to the past which is reflected in it's architecture, and the openness of its residents, who inherited their hospitality and friendlyness from their forebearers. Perhaps one result of this is the Indalo - or 'Mojácar man', which residents of Mojácar are used to paint on the front of their houses. Giving a person an Indalo, is ment to bring him good luck and protection. The figure might be interpreted to be a man holding a rainbow between his outstretched arms.
Apart from Mojácar, historical cities like Almería and Granada are close by our development Terrazas del Golf, and definitely worth paying a visit. Although it may sound strange, sky fanatics can enjoy some of Europe's best slopes in the area of Sierra Nevada, Granada (2 hours from Mojácar), which in summertime turns itself in the ideal area for mountain biking or canoeing. The nature reserve of Cabo de Gata, at 30 minutes drive from Terrazas del Golf, offers hikers paradise, and beautiful coves and bays. Furthermore, the development Terrazas del Golf finds itself in between the ports of Garrucha and Mojácar Playa, both at a few minutes walk of the development, where you can enjoy a wide variety of water sports. |
