Garrucha

A short drive from the complex brings you to the beautiful fishing town of Garrucha.  Here you will find a huge choice of restaurants, many specialising in fish although meat dishes and traditional Spanish meals are always available.  There are Chinese and pizza restaurants and a wide choice of small Spanish cafe bars. 

There is a fish market most weekday evenings at the harbour from about 5pm.  Here you can see the fish landed and being auctioned for the restaurants.  In the town itself there are plenty of banks with cash machines, many shops and large supermarkets.

Mojacar Playa

Further on from Garrucha, you will find Mojacar Playa.  This is a large area which stretches the whole length of the beach and comprises of lots of bars and restaurants.  Here you will find everything you could possible need as the choice is endless. There are tapas bars, Spanish bar/restaurants, Chinese, Indian, Italian and Mexican restaurants. The enclosed shopping centre situated on the main roundabout at Mojacar has a large supermarket underneath, as well as a variety of gift shops and more cafes on the other two levels.

Above the beach you will find the beautiful area of Mojacar Pueblo.  This is a very old and quaint town with cobbled streets and a weekly market.  There are further restaurants, bars and shops hidden in these streets and the views are spectacular.  This is an area to be highly recommended. 

Villaricos

A drive in the opposite direction brings you to the small fishing village of Villaricos. There is a small sandy beach two harbours and diving is available.  There are reasonably priced restaurants and bars here ranging from Spanish cuisine to British pub food.  Like many of the other areas, there is a Sunday market here and a beautiful church.
