Moraira Costa Blanca

Moraira, a beautiful old fishing village located in the La Marina Alta region between Valencia and Alicante, is a true gem on the Spanish coast. With its idyllic location, breathtaking views and unique microclimate, Moraira is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
Moraira has three beaches, all located near the center. Thanks to the slow deepening of the sea, the seawater in the surf is on average 1 to 2 degrees warmer than the official seawater temperature. This is around 25-26 degrees Celsius in the middle of summer.

The Mediterranean climate is labeled by the World Health Organization as one of the healthiest in the world. Like the rest of the Costa Blanca, Moraira is blessed with more than 300 sunny days per year and in the summer months warm but not too hot days, this mainly due to the sea breeze that is present. 


Looking down at Moraira Port and the old fishermen's living quarters. With a great view to Calp, Calp is characterized by the 332-meter-high rock El peñon de Ifach, which protrudes into the sea and can be seen from kilometers away. The rock is part of a small bird sanctuary.

Playa de l'Ampolla, one of the 3 beautiful beaches of Moraira, a great stretch of sandy beach with a beach bar & restaurant at walking distance from the Apartments Beau, Lynn, Maria and Casa Kirsten

Besides the beaches, one of the things to see in Moraira is the castle. In reality, it is not a large fortress but a small defensive bastion, a horseshoe-shaped structure that dates back to the 18th century, specifically the 1740s. This building is located near the beach of l'Ampolla

The uniqueness of Guadalest is that the village is beautifully integrated into the rocks.

Probably the most beautiful festival in Moraira is the celebration of Moros y Cristianos. The festivities surrounding Moros y Cristianos begin as early as May. But it ultimately revolves around the one week in June. That's when really everything is pulled out of the closet. The week of celebration is filled with beautiful parades, music, dancing and spectacle on the beach, the various parades are perhaps the feat of the celebration, the costumes are spectacular and the number of participants is enormous.

The muscatel grape is perfect for making delicious dessert wines, the mistela. In Teulada there is a cooperative, the San Vicente Ferrer, which was founded in 1940. They have been making this special alcoholic digestif for years and has received worldwide recognition for its refined taste. It is well worth a visit and a bottle of mistela makes an ideal gift/memorial for those who want to take home something unique from Moraira/Teulada.

Santa Maria dels Desemparats de Moraira, this historic church is located in the center surrounded by terraces, bars and small stores.
