I’ve been visiting the Almeria region of Spain for over 7 years. When I first drove into Mojacar Playa, I didn’t get the same feeling that all of my friends had. They told me that Mojacar and Mojacar Playa was a wonderfully relaxed, genuinely Spanish, beach resort. They told me that it felt so laid back that it was horizontal. They said that the “locals” were friendly and would accomodate me even though my Spanish was almost non-existent.
The second time I arrived, I was completely sucked in by all of the above. 7 years later, I still visit Mojacar Playa about once a month. Some of my best friends live there and I’ve got some fantastic memories. Most of the memories involve eating the fresh local Spanish food, being served by people I now know well, and entertaining my customers there with pride.
I finally gave in to “Mojacar” and rented a place there for 4 years. When I left, properties for sale on Mojacar Playa were very expensive. However, many of the villas for sale now are about 40% below their prices of 2 years ago and a real bargain can be had. The character of Mojacar Playa and Mojacar Village (Pueblo) hasn’t changed at all. Most of the original bar owners are still there and I recommend anyone to visit Mojacar. But, be sure to go a second time. If you would like to see some properties for sale in Mojacar, have a look at this selection of villas, apartments and townhouses.
Hasta Luego.
