ABOUT MORAIRA, COSTA BLANCA

ABOUT MORAIRA

Moraira is a small, picturesque and well-managed coastal town in the municipality of Teulada and the province of Alicante just off the Mediterranean coast on the Costa Blanca. The town is one of the most unspoilt on the Costa Blanca with 8 kilometers of beautiful coast surrounded by mountains and vineyards.

Many Spaniards call Moraira “Spain’s St Tropez” and several Madrid residents have their summer places right here but other nationalities have also found that Moraira is “their” paradise on earth.

Moraira is located about 80 km north of Alicante and about 1 hour drive on fine motorways from Alicante airport. A little longer, or about 100 km it is to Valencia. Denia, which is about 20 km north, is the place for ferry lines to, among others, Ibiza and Mallorca.

Moraira never “sleeps” but is a year-round resort with restaurants (many claim that there are about 150 restaurants in high season) where virtually all the world’s kitchens are represented, fine supermarkets such as Pepe La Sal or Mercadona but also other stores there you can find everything you need.

 

Moraira is a true gem on the Costa Blanca, with its laid-back atmosphere, which attracts people from different nationalities to spend a holiday or even settle down here. In the summer, it is a bustling place with happy tourists enjoying the sunny weather, the beautiful beaches and the good food. But also, out of summer, the town remains a cheerful treasure. It has about 16,000 inhabitants of whom surprisingly 60% are foreigners who have made this city their place of residence for its beauty, its good infrastructure and services, friendliness and hospitality of its people and especially its average temperature of 18º.

Moraira is surrounded by hillsides where pine trees and beautiful villas create a delightful scenery. Its old town retains a rich cultural heritage and keeps some secrets to visitors in the form of historic buildings, fortified churches, watchtowers, castles and walls. The main defensive fortress and the most interesting cultural visits are Castillo de Moraira,  Cap d’or tower and Iglesia Fortaleza de Santa Catalina, but there are other interesting historical buildings.
