Moraira

Moraira appeals to and captivates both the tourist and those searching for a new lifestyle on the Costa Blanca. Whilst the sleepy small fishing village has long sonce disappeared, it still retains a richness of charm, beauty,tranquility and amiable locals. Patterned with pine trees, bejewelled with sandy and rocky coves along the coast road, it employs the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea as its canvas. Modern-day add-ons to the village, such as buildings, road schemes and so on have been thoughtfully designed and carried out by the town hall, yielding no permission for any multistorey structures to spoil the skyline.

Moraira boasts a broad choice of restaurants and bars to select from in the town and surrounding area. You are able to find English, Italian, French, German and Spanish cuisine. Indeed whether you're looking for a traditional Sunday lunch, or would like to try a typically Spanish Paella, you're spoilt for choice. There are some outstanding restaurants around the harbour, offering fresh locally caught fish, and several good priced Menu del Dias to be found. There's also a market in the main car park every Friday morning, where you are able to purchase locally farmed fruit and veg amongst many other things.

Moraira has its fair share of fiestas, the most notable being the Moors and Christians in June. People line the streets to watch the parades, listen to the bands, see the stunning, colourful costumes and by and large have a good time. The pyrotechnic displays are always first-class, and always extremely loud! The aqua pyrotechnic display is beautiful, with fireworks being set off above Moraira's main beach.
