Moraira
Nestled in a pretty bay on the south-east coast of Spain, the
small Spanish resort town of Moraira is an oasis of traditional
charm on the busy Costa Blanca, a favoured holiday spot and
retirement haven. Moraira has grown from a small fishing village
into an attractive resort surrounded by luxury villas without
losing its Spanish character, which is entrenched in its impressive
marina, variety of shops, colourful weekly markets, atmospheric old
town, and its waterfront restaurants and bars.
This beach resort is easily accessible, being equidistant (about
62 miles/100km) by motorway from both Alicante and Valencia
airports. For those who enjoy a taste of the high life, it is also
within easy reach by car or bus of the busier, glitzier Costa
Blanca resorts of Javea, Calpe and bustling Benidorm. The
countryside around the holiday destination of Moraira offers some
lovely scenery dotted with unspoilt villages to explore.
The relaxed traditional ambience of Moraira is accompanied by
two main beaches with European Blue Flag status, separated by a
promontory crowned with a medieval fortress. There are also plenty
of sport and leisure facilities on offer. When it comes to holiday
weather in Moraira, it is one of the best Spanish beach resorts
claiming an average 325 days of sunshine a year, and temperatures
that stay constantly pleasantly warm. Fresh sea breezes ensure that
it is never sweltering in summer, and the surrounding mountains
protect the town from the chilly winter winds.
