If you’re visiting Mojacar for its beaches, don’t forget about the pueblo! 🌸 Mojacar Pueblo is known for its traditional architecture, narrow streets, and beautiful views, but it’s also very artistic so there are plenty of artisan shops to visit too 🫶🏼 Try to visit earlier in the morning if you can to avoid the heat 🥵 Have you been to Mojacar Pueblo before? 🇪🇸 • • • • • • • • • • #mojacar #mojacarpueblo #pueblo #almeria #visitspain #spaintravel #kristatheexplorer #travel #travelblogger #spainiswonderful #pueblosblancos #mojacarturismo #spainvacation
