Mojácar

Mojácar is full of small and hospitable shops which specialize in hand-made goods. These stores are scattered around the narrow cobbled streets of whitewashyed houses with blue painted wooden window. These small traders sell all kinds of hand-made curiosities, including the most traditional goods like "jarapas" (a kind of colourful rag rug), esparto-work, ceramics, leather and iron-ware...which are all vivid reminders of the old ways of the past, when masters of these products lived their simple but artistic lives. On Wednesdays, being the traditional market day, there is even more choice. You will find a rich and heady mixture of cultures and races from all over the world, and from this crucible of varied colours and ripples, you can be sure to find almost anything you like, at a good price.
