Mojácar Pueblo – Living, Property & Lifestyle in Almería’s White Village

🏘️ Mojácar Pueblo – The White Village of Almería

Set high on a hillside with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Sierra Cabrera mountains, Mojácar Pueblo is a postcard-perfect whitewashed village full of history, culture, and community spirit. For visitors and property seekers alike, it offers a uniquely Andalusian way of life — one that blends traditional charm with modern comfort.



🌄 History & Heritage

With over 4,000 years of history, Mojácar has seen Roman, Phoenician, and Moorish civilisations flourish and fade. Today, its Moorish roots are still visible in the narrow, winding streets, arched doorways, and white houses stacked along the hillside.

Key sites of interest include:

  • Santa María Church – A fortress-style church built in the 16th century.

  • La Fuente Mora (Moorish Fountain) – A historic meeting point and water source.

  • Mirador del Castillo – A lookout with stunning views over the coast.

  • Puerta de la Ciudad (City Gate) – One of the original entrances to the village.

  • Local Andalusian cuisine – including paella, grilled meats, and fresh seafood.

  • Cosy wine bars and modern tapas lounges.
