Mojácar
A white Moorish village perched on a hilltop, its tiered white houses overlooking the Mediterranean, and the birthplace of the Indalo good-luck figure.
Mojácar lies about 90 km by road (roughly 60 km as the crow flies) northeast of Almería. It is divided into an old hilltop village and a beach area stretching 17 km along the coast below. The old village's white cube houses are stacked up the hillside and keep their Moorish street layout, and viewing platforms look out over the plain and the sea. Mojácar is the home of the Indalo, the stick-figure symbol that represents Almería, and souvenir shops are everywhere. It makes a good day trip extension from the northern route of Cabo de Gata, and you can watch the sunset from the old village in the evening.
