Bowling Abroad

Bordering Granada, Costa Almeria has a beautiful unspoilt coastline. In the far South Eastern corner of the Iberian Peninsula is this sun-baked province, with 3000 hours of annual sunshine and lowest rainfall in Europe. Given Almeria´s climate, it´s of no surprise that much of the province is of semi-arid desert-like landscape. Due to the dry weather, much of this area is a sparsely populated wilderness.  Mojacar is one of the most popular towns in the province. This spectacular Moorish fortress town stands on a towering crag overlooking a shore graced by pristine beaches and the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean and has a large expat membership within the bowling clubs in the area. Mojacar has a long, multi-faceted history which stretches over 4000 years, making it a fascinating town to visit. The town, however, still remains remarkably true to its Moorish past. Mojacar is a place that begs to be explored by foot. Park the car below the town and wander upwards at your own pace. You will encounter incredible views with nearly every step. Follow the road which snakes its way toward the town or climb the stairs which also lead upward, depositing you into the residential heart of the village. Echoes of the past will engulf you!
