El
Mojon
El Mojon is a small seaside village that consists mainly of
a few bars and restaurants including an excellent English restaurant
that serves highly recommended dishes. It is located a 3 minute
car drive away from "Pueblo Latino" the showpiece
of Pilar de la Horadada. This pretty plaza surrounded by shops
and restaurants bursts into life each evening.
The church square is a central meeting place and the venue for
the many colourful and exciting fiestas. An evening stroll along
the promenade is the perfect place to enjoy the aura of the
Mediterranean, the bustling street markets and the lazy beach
bars
San
Pedro may be how we imagine a typical Spanish town to be. There
are excellent restaurants serving locally caught seafood and
where you can soak up the atmosphere of the real Spain. The
beach is wonderful and each Monday the town bustles with activity
from the local market. There are lots of activities, including
water sports such as sailing, wind surfing, jet skiing, canoeing,
fishing, para gliding, water skiing, boat trips, horse riding,
bird watching. There are numerous banks, shops, cafes, bars
and restaurants and night clubs.
The local therapeutic mud baths are a particular favourite as
they are said to heal skin complaints and rheumatism.
There
is a nature reserve located on the salt lakes. This area is
seen of prime ecological importance, is home to over one hundred
species of bird and is used by migratory flamingos on the journey
to Africa. The local area is very flat and lends itself to cycling
with dedicated cycle lanes commonplace.
There
are also a number of golf courses close by, Villa Martin, Las
Ramblas, Campoamor, Roda Golf and La Finca are only 15 minutes
drive away and not forgetting the championship courses of La
Manga.
Torrevieja
is within a 10 minute drive and is surrounded by salt lakes
which are home to a variety of wildlife including pink flamingos
which are protected within the La Mata nature reserve. The town
has a large marina, fun fair, promenande which is bustling from
early evening with street artists and stalls, a harbour walk
and abundant bars, shops and restaurants.
Going north Alicante is always worth a look as are the many
beaches and bays all along the Costa Blanca and of course Benidorm
is only an hour away with it's vast selection of attractions
including the Terra Mitica theme park, Mundomar sea life attraction
and Aqualandia water park.
