Moraira's perfect orientation provides many of its properties with a southerly downhill view towards the Mediterranean .It is slightly smaller resort than Javea and Calpe and retains much of the considerable charm of its origins as a small fishing village.

It has a modern marina and pleasant promenade with plenty of bars and restaurants from which there are spectacular views along the coast .

There are virtually no high-rise developments in Moraira and it is an extremely sought after residential area. It is a popular area for holidaymakers looking for villas with pools . Most properties are detached villas and bungalows and are all within easy reach of the centre and the coast.

In the popular Cumbre de Sol area some of the villas have the most amazing views you could imagine. From some of the higher villas you can look out of your windows and feel as if you are on a plane coming in to land! You can see for miles and miles in all directions. Very special and certainly a talking point when you have visitors.

The coastal road between Moraira and Calpe is well known as having some of the most spectacular views on the whole of the Costa Blanca. There are numerous small bays and coves with Baladra, La Fustera and Les Bassettes perfect for a dip or walk along the coastal path.

Close by are the typical Spanish towns of Benissa and Teulada which have retained much of their individual identity. Weekly markets and frequent fiestas during the summer help you to quickly feel very much at home .

Watching the local young men being chased round a barricaded town centre by bulls on a Saturday night is certainly a novel weekend treat. Don't worry though the bulls aren't hurt and are eventually taken home by the farmer on a lead like a tired out little boy.
