Bus Routes
For our guests who are using public transport, there is a local bus service (Yellow buses) which operate a circular route. Starting at Puerto Marina hotel at the far end of Mojacar Playa (Carboneras end).
Upon travelling from the Pueblo: If you are wishing to travel in the direction of Carboneras (to hotel accommodation, beaches, beachbars etc) from Parque Comercial, then do not fret if the bus zooms off in the opposite direction towards Garrucha when it reaches Parque Comercial - just enjoy the ride and the views. The bus is going to the hotels on the Garrucha road stretch to collect more passegners, but it does turn around and head back the other way.
All trips are €2 or less regardless of number of stops. You can buy a 'carte' for which will allow you 10 journeys and you can ask the bus driver to punch it for two people. The bus driver will refuse to accept notes over 10 euros and if you present a 10 euro note then he will expect you to buy a 'carte' as they dislike changing high denomination notes. Five euros notes are usually fine.
Try and find a landmark on a local map (e.g. Parque Commercial - the local shopping centre) and when you go to pay, just say 'Parque Commercial' - more often or not the bus driver will advise you when you have reached that stop, but do pay attention to the driver.
Taxis
There is only one taxi rank in Mojacar - opposite Parque Commercial by the bus stop. The taxis are efficient and clean - the drivers speak little English if any, but they are safe. If you are away from Parque Commercial and you need a taxi then it is best to call into a bar, buy a drink, and ask them to order a taxi for you. The taxi telephone booking people speak only Spanish and very fast at that!
