Moraira
This charming place was a once a very small
fishing village with few inhabitants. Whilst over the years
in being 'discovered' many people have built houses and villas
in the surrounding hills that are privately owned.
The place still retains its original character
and abundance of local charm. Unlike the big city some miles
away this charming village does not have any high-rise hotels
or large apartment blocks and thus does not feature in the
large Travel brochures.
The surrounding area remains unspoilt, creating
a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. It has a nice safe sandy beach,
harbour and marina with a wide variety of shops and restaurants.
The whole area has one of the best climates in the world and
has attracted settlers from all over, including the larger
cities of Spain.
Although there is still a fishing harbour,
the village itself has grown and now sports a large marina
where vessels are berthed all year round. The Club Nautico
at the far end of the marina welcomes visitors.
Most mornings there are auctions in the fish
market and on Fridays there is a street market. This starts
early and closes up around 1-2 pm. The Banks and shops are
all busy on market day.
Moraira is situated almost in the middle from
the airports of Alicante and Valencia 90 km away. There are
several well-known larger resorts nearby, Javea 10 km, Calpe
10 km, Denia 15 km, Altea 15 km and Benidorm 30 km.
