Mojacar Pueblo information Costa Almeria Spain

Mojacar Pueblo is a picturesque sight of white washed buildings and steep winding cobbled streets perched high on a hill in the Sierra Cabrera, that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.
Mojacar was a trade centre for the Greeks and Romans but the Moorish influence is the most visible dating from the 8th century.

There are a number of historical places of interest in Mojacar including LaFuenta (fountain), this is where women wash their clothes and feet inthe natural spring water which is said to have flowed here since the roman times, it was restored in 1876.
The Ancient Castillo which dominates the village is now an open viewing platform. Puerta de la Ciudad ( city gate), a semi-circular arch featuring the arms of the town, this is the original site of the main entrance to the village since the Moorish times.
Mojacar Pueblo

The symbol of Mojacar is the Indalo Man, which is the shape of a man holding an arc between his outstretched arms, It is often painted on the front of houses and is said to bring protection and good luck. The symbol is associated with neolithic paintings found in the caves of Velez Blanco and is thought to be 4500 years old.
