Best Months to Visit Mojacar
- The climate at Mojácar Pueblo is the Mediterranean all year, with dry summers and rainy, warm winters.
- Summer or late fall is the most acceptable time to visit Mojácar if you prefer spending time in the sun.
- You may anticipate up to 13 hours of sunlight every day and temperatures as high as 40°C throughout these months.
- The main disadvantage of travelling during the summer is the peak tourist season, which means many people will have expensive hotel fees.
- If you don't like the heat, Mojácar Pueblo is even better in the winter, with temperatures hovering around 18°C and fewer people.
- In my opinion, May/June or September/October are the best times to visit Mojácar Pueblo (and the rest of southern Spain).

Hiking & Biking

- It is advisable to go early in the morning before the sun becomes too hot, or for coastal routes, wait until the sun sets behind the mountains, which give pleasant shade on the walks.
- Take a level hike from Mojácar Playa to the Castillo or Torre de Macenas, beautiful sea vistas and volcanic rocks.
- In Medieval times, built numerous towers along the shore to keep an eye out for pirates; currently, they are significant landmarks with plenty of photo possibilities!
- Mojácar not only has 17 kilometres of beach to explore, but it is also located in the Sierra Cabrera mountain range, which is ideal for trekking and mountain riding.
Sea Kayaking in Mojácar
#Fun
- We met Javier from DGSE Turismo Activo after trekking to the Castillo de Macenas to go sea kayaking down the coast to the next medieval tower, la Torre del Pirulico.
- The sea was calm, and we paddled down the shore as the sunset behind the mountains.
- I'm not very good at kayaking and spend much of my time attempting to keep it straight or appreciating the scenery!
- Water activities are a terrific way to discover Mojácar Playa because it has a gorgeous shoreline.
Quad Biking in Mojácar
#Fun
- The dry region is a perfect setting for quad riding.
- Steve from Indalo Quads leads small groups on quad bike excursions through Mojácar in the gorgeous Almeria countryside.
- We made a journey from the Torre del Pirulico and drove through the trails along the shore - while I was a little concerned about taking the quad too far, the rest of the group had a great time!
- At the very least, try! never ridden a quad bike before, so I was excited to try it, but I couldn't turn very well, so I stayed in the parking lot.
Diving in Mojácar
#Fun
- Diving is more of an active holiday activity; after learning to dive in Honduras last year, I developed an unexpected passion for the undersea environment.
- Some of our group had never attempted diving before, so we had a practice session in the pool in Mojácar old town before heading out to sea the next day.
- The Buceo Mojácar staff were fantastic. They took the time to instruct and assist the beginner divers in their first experience with scuba diving, which was also an excellent refresher for the rest of us who hadn't dived in a while.
- The next day, we went down to Carboneras, which lies on the outskirts of the Caba de Gato natural park and has fantastic visibility.
