Calle Iglesia leads to this church with ochre coloured walls that contrast with the white houses. Built after the Reconquest, it resembles a fortress with solid walls, with the belltower on one side and buttresses on the other. Several picturesque streets surround it and small restaurants and bars are in the parallel street, Calle de Enmedio.

This charming square contains the simple hermitage of Our Lady of Sorrows (18C), now turned into a shop. On the square, a terrace provides a wide view over the remains of Mojácar la Vieja, the early village on the hillside, a little lower. Left of the square, Cuesta del Castillo leads up to an esplanade, site of a former castle (now destroyed), that provides a view of the coast.

Several rooms in the museum devoted to Vera's history contain archaeological collections. Others focus on the region's ethnography.

The superb stretch of fine sand nestles between hills jutting out into the sea. On the left of the beach is a shifting sand dune and on the right a way through to the cove at Medina Luna. Not a building in sight - total bliss.
