THE MORAIRA AREA - WHAT TO SEE AND DO:-
Moraira truly the jewel of the Northern Costa Blanca is a small, upmarket Spanish coastal town, part of Teulada municipality, 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia. It is a tourist resort with 8 km of coastline backed by mountains and vineyards. This laid-back resort is ideal for those who want to enjoy the Costa Blanca away from the busier, bigger resorts, yet close enough to enjoy all the fantastic activities that the region has to offer.
The area is very popular with affluent retirees, especially the English. Most visitors to Moraira are Spanish, English, German, Dutch, French and more recently Russian. The local people of Moraira are extremely friendly and patient with foreign visitors, not surprising, as aside from agriculture, they depend on tourism for their livelihood. There is a pleasant international feel to the area. Most people are pleased to speak English with you and even more pleased if a small attempt to speak Spanish is made.
Little remains of the fishing cottages that once made up the little port that serviced the town of Teulada that stands at the head of the valley. Moraira has a privately owned marina built in 1985 and is blessed with a wide selection of stylish cafés within its pleasant streets with many good quality restaurants, including several Michelin recommended restaurants in the immediate area.
Moraira has two main local sandy beaches, which gently shelve away into the Mediterranean Sea; both hold EEC Blue flag awards and are well-tended and very safe for family bathing.
The town itself has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, with old cobbled streets, an impressive marina, excellent variety of local shops, weekly open markets, harbour-side fish restaurants and bars still retaining their Spanish heritage. The gift shops and weekly markets offer everything from locally made arts and crafts to jewellery and clothes.
There is plenty to do in the evenings as well, from family friendly entertainment to sophisticated bars and lounges. Why not catch some live music or watch a traditional flamenco performance.
The Moraira region is also famous for growing Muscatel grapes for wine-making. From the colourful seafront, you can enjoy stunning views across the bay to El Peñon de Ifach, the rock of Calpe, The Moraira valley is stunning. It is full of whitewashed villas and very green with lots of pine trees
For sports enthusiasts - Tennis, Padel Tennis, football, squash, all water sports, boat hire and trips, horse-riding, go-kart racing for both adults and children, a small fairground and night-clubs for all ages are all available in or close to Moraira. Three large golf courses can be enjoyed within a few minutes drive from the town.
Families heading to Moraira will certainly find plenty to do. You can take the kids on a glass-bottomed boat trip and there are some great theme parks in the area.
Excursions
Easily reached by car are some larger towns which are well worth visiting: Javea, Calpe, Denia, Altea, Benidorm and Valencia. There are many places of interest to see on day excursions, apart from the other coastal resorts there is also the spectacular inland and mountainous environment to discover including the wonderful mountain-top fortress of Guadalest.
A short drive into Teulada gives access to the station for the Lemon Express rail line, where for a few euros, you can travel through delightful mountainous scenery to Denia, Calpe and Altea and also on to Benidorm and even Alicante, an experience not to be missed.
A drive through and around the nearby Jalon Valley is another great option with its stunning views and many charming and reasonably priced restaurants.
Markets and Fiestas
If you like open markets then, aside from the weekly Friday market held in central Moraira, you could plan a visit every day of the week to the various markets held in neighbouring towns and villages. Apart from enjoying the buzzing Spanish activity, you can buy some excellent, cheap fresh fruit and vegetables, local specialities, herbs and spices, leather goods, clothes, rugs, fresh and silk flowers, souvenirs, pottery and a whole variety of other goods.
As in all of Spain there are numerous fiestas (festivals) held throughout the year in the region; with specific festivals held in April, June, July and November in Moraira itself.
