A byproduct of Mojácar’s revival as an arts colony, the villa called El Mirador del Castillo occupies the very top of the hill. Today it's a hotel and cafe-bar (both open Easter to October), and a mirador (lookout) to end all miradors, with panoramas stretching from the sea to a landscape studded with volcanic cones just like the one Mojácar occupies.
The cafe-bar provides sustenance after the hike up, along with a jazz soundtrack and plenty of space to relax over a coffee or tapa .
