Born from a sleepy little fishing village Moraira still retains a wealth of charm, beauty, peace and friendly locals. Dotted with pine trees, bejewelled with sandy and rocky coves along the coast road, it uses the beautiful blue Mediterranean as its canvas.
Set amongst mountainous countryside in a sheltered bay, Moraira has not been blighted by the tall apartment blocks which have spoilt some of the other nearby resorts and a large number of its buildings are attractive villas set amongst pine woods and orange groves.
The two beaches of Moraira both carry ‘blue flag’ status and are clean, well looked after and safe for families, there are also water sports facilities available including sailing, diving, jet-skiing and water skiing. A weekly market is held every Friday next to the main beach selling fresh produce, clothes and gifts.
Moraira has a wide choice of restaurants and bars in the town and surrounding area. It boasts English, Italian, French, German and Spanish cuisine. So whether you are looking for a traditional Spanish Paella, Tapas or a Sunday Lunch Moraira has it all. Many of the fish restaurants around the harbour, offer fresh locally caught fish, and some good priced Menu del Dias as well. Market day is Friday, where you can buy locally produced fruit and veg amongst many other things. In the surrounding areas and villages there is a market almost every day of the week.
The Spainish are well know for their Fiestas and Moraira is no exception, the most famous being the Moors and Christians in June. People line the streets to watch the marching parades, listen to the bands, see the stunning, colourful costumes and generally have a good time. The firework displays are fantastic to watch during the warm evenings. The aqua firework display is beautiful, with fireworks being set off over Moraira's main beach.
Moraira enjoys a typically temperate Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters and similar to other resorts along this coast, enjoys over 300 days of sunshine every year. Moraira benefits from cooling sea breezes during the summer, which keeps the temperature at an acceptable level and in the winter time the surrounding mountains shelter the town from cold northerly winds, keeping temperatures higher.
A single track railway runs from Denia to Alicante, stopping at Teulada station, not too far from Moraira. This is a very scenic ride cutting through the mountains and following the coastline, giving some impressive views along the way.
Moraira is located between Calpe and Jávea on the northern Costa Blanca about 30 km from Benidorm. It can be accessed from the N332 coastal road and from junction 63 of the A-7 motorway.
