About the area

Mojácar, a village situated on the eastern coast of Almería, is a beautiful village which in many details of its architecture appears to come from another time and another culture. It possesses numerous charms and tourist attractions such as the landscape and its beaches and is well worth a visit.

The old location of the town was on a hill near the sea, called Mojácar la Vieja. For some historians it was the old Iberian town of Meschech or Mastia; it welcomed Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans.

The new town was called Murgis-Akras, "Murgis on the heights', later it was called Mucacra, Mosaqar and Moxacar. It was on the border between two Roman provinces, Betica and Tarraconense.
