Garrucha is in the Province of Almeria , a land of striking contrasts. Almeria is blessed not only by its warm climate, but by a diversity of art, history and nature. Like Brittany in France , it has a vast expanse of coast, with wonderful sandy beaches and rocky secluded coves. The Moorish Ancestry is evidenced by the tiny villages with winding streets and white washed houses.Almeria's dry climate and mild temperatures greatly benefit those who suffer from ailments such as arthritis, rheumatism and asthma.
The region offers a wealth of leisure activities for all tastes such as swimming, sun bathing, fishing, scuba diving, wind surfing, golf, tennis, lawn bowls, horse riding and some superb walks. Winter-wise, for skiers the famous ski slopes of Sierra Nevada are just a few hours drive away
Tucked in between the beaches of Vera Playa and historic Mojacar, and protected by the Sierra Cabrerra mountains, Garrucha is an ideal holiday home location. Sun assured, you may come here in search of excitement and modern adventure or to chill-out and relax.

This spectacular Moorish fortress town stands on a towering crag overlooking a shore graced by pristine beaches and the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean .
Like many other villages in south-eastern Spain , in the 1960's Mojacar had become a ghost town, since most of its active inhabitants had moved north to find work in the factories of the Barcelona region, and further afield. To attract new residents, the town's mayor gave land away to anyone who promised to build, and within a year picturesque Mojacar had become a thriving art colony. Mainstream tourists and holiday-makers were also later attracted by the beauty and charm of the place and the following decades saw the development of its shoreline, with the construction of hotels and villas.
The shimmering white village of Mojacar nestles on a hill overlooking the main tourist resort along the coast. With its wonderful maze of narrow streets, the old place has lost none of its traditional charm and mystique. Quaint little shops and bars are waiting to be discovered around every corner, oozing authentic Spanish hospitality.
