Popular Things To Do | Miscellaneous Things To Do Tips | All Tips (13) A wild-west town set deep in the mountains near Tabernas . This town is where many of the great "westerns" such as "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" filmed in the 1960s. A great day out for all the family with shows and fun. This place reminds you of the Wild Far West! Nowadays you will recognise it as the town where David Beckham's recent Coca Cola advert was filmed!

A few minutes before arriving in Mojacar, passing Sorbas, we were stopped by road works. We had no air conditioned, and the dust was so strong, that we had to keep the windows closed all the time. The temperature inside the car went over 60º C, for sure, during... I say almost ten minutes, Fernanda says... half an hour! Doesn't matter! We were so coocked, that seeing the ocean, we start undressing straight away in the car, stopped... anywhere and... jumped to the water. Only afterwards, looking behind, we noticed that it was a rough pebble beach, and the car... needed to be parked. Leave a Comment

Discovery 4x4 Tours Mojacar...WOW. This was a great part of my holiday. We wanted to see the real Spain and we sure did that!
What makes this company so good is they even sat down and asked us what we wanted from our trip...they did say they could be more flexable in winter months and would try and include places we wanted to see. We took their 4hr tour into the mountains (there are so many to choose from like horseriding BBq's and snorkelling) the views were fantastic, their knowledge of the area vast. we saw scorpion and little owls.
even if you have a car its worth doing because you won't be able to go the places we went!.....but do a tour at the begining of your holiday because not only will they show you the area we were told of all the other places to visit and also some great places to eat...and unlike some trips we've done where the agent only takes you to places where they are getting free meals or done deals etc. this was not the case here. we tried tapas lovely even though at first we wasn't sure what we had ordered but with a little encougement ok it didnt take much we went back for seconds. we found them by chance but booking by phone 0034 661233890 is best or you can make bookings at the scubajive (bookit) or complete holidays. They have a website but I think they are making changes to it at the moment Phone: 0034661233890Website: www.discovery4x4tours.com Other Contact: email:discovery4x4tours@hotmail.

Mojacar has 2 parts, the old spanish/arabish part with white houses in it on the hill, and the modern tourist village on the beach. Both are great, however the beach part is similar to other spanish beach villages. But the old Mojacar is something special. You will find a lot of small and kind streets in it with small and kind shops. From top of the village the view is breath-taking, you can see the only "Western style" desert in Europe. Really, it is a must to go there.

Please, if you visit mojacar, book a trip with Discovery Tours. They take jeep safaris into either the cabrera mountains or the beda mountains. the trip we took was fantastic. our guide was mary, who runs the company as well. she was brilliant. we saw loads of wildlife. including cicadas, which i had heard but never seen before, and HUGE spiders, bee eaters, birds of prey, crickets etc etc. we ate figs and grapes growing wild at the side of the track ( you wouldn't call it a road ), we stopped at little villages, and mary stopped when ever we wanted her to or when she found something interesting to look at. we stopped in a village for drinks, and a meal if you wanted to, and expected to be ripped off, but the food was fantastic (moroccan) and really reasonable. she told us her life story and i am so jealous of where she lives and what she does for a living! the views from the mountain sides are breathtaking, and more than a little scary!!!
do it!! Address: Discovery Tours - info in hotel receptions
