The town of Mojacar clings to a rocky hillside looking over the Mediterranean Sea and is actually comprised of two distinct areas: Mojacar Pueblo (town) the site of the original habitation dating back around 4000 years and Mojacar Playa (beach), the more modern resort built up along the Mediterranean coast just below.
