A guide to Mojacar holidays

Food & drink in Mojacar

One of the classic meals in Spain is tortilla de patatas, and different regions have their own take on how to cook them. One of the biggest topics surrounding the meal is whether it should be made with onions or not. However, it still remains one of the most popular dishes. As expected, paella is the most famous dish in Spain and as a tourist, it’s something you should taste at least once. With Mojacar being on the coast, you’re likely to find the dish is filled with locally sourced seafood. A mixture of seafood and rice, it’s flavoursome and filling – it’s not one to miss.

If you’re going to a restaurant for dinner, you’ll find olives will come as your appetizer. Spain is one of the leading producers of olive oil in the world, so it’s not surprising that olives are a big part of their local cuisine. While you can get easy access to wine and beer almost anywhere, the most famous drink in Spain is sangria by a landslide. You’ll find tourists and locals alike will be drinking glasses of sangria while sunning it up in the hot city.
