Those who wish to reside in the northern region of the Costa Blanca can select from a variety of charming villages and towns. Moraira is among them. Historically, a tiny fishing village. Developed into a beautiful community that so many people enjoy. As a vacation location, or to live year-round.
✓ The Mediterranean Climate
It has been spoken and written countless times. Also, we cannot ignore it. The excellent climate in Moraira. Known as having one of the planet’s healthiest microclimates. Summers are long and warm, with mild weather during winters. Almost no risk of snow or below-freezing temps. Moraira has almost 300 sunny days annually.
✓ Hosts A International Community
Moraira here along the Costa Blanca is popular with more than just the Dutch and British people. This beautiful location has been discovered by numerous nations. There are French, Belgians, Germans, and Scandinavians, among others. Obviously, there are also Spaniards, although they tend to reside in Teulada. Due to the large number of immigrants, many services are provided in multiple languages.
✓ Small Town
Moraira is very popular and is among the most beautiful coastal locations in the northern Costa Blanca. Unfazed by mass tourism. There are no huge hotel chains, giant stores, or skyscrapers like at the coastal town of Benidorm for example. The charming marina is reserved for fishing vessels and leisure ships.
✓ Excellent Facilities
Despite Moraira’s modest size, you can locate all you require here. There are international clinics, excellent supermarkets, and both public and foreign schools. Many restaurants in varying price groups. There are many parking spaces, taxis, and a marina. There are international hair salons, several shops, and fitness centers.
✓ Isn’t Abandoned During The Winter
This is essential information for individuals who desire to spend their winter in Moraira or who reside there year-round. During the winter, certain Mediterranean towns are empty. This gives a “sad” impression. Obviously, Moraira is much more peaceful than in the summer. But it is still alive. There are plenty of stores and restaurants operating. One can continue to relax on a terrace. Also, there’s many people throughout the streets. A somewhat older audience than during the summer, as many winter guests have retired.
✓ Commerce: Shops, Dining Establishments, and That Lovely Market
There are approximately 20 streets featuring stores, real estate brokers, and restaurants in Moraira. There are gift shops, clothing stores (many with Boho attire), shoe stores, and jewelers, among others.
The restaurant selection within and around Moraira is vast. There are restaurants for every budget. There are nearly all forms of “cuisine” available. In recent years, both the cuisine and the staff have improved in quality.
On Friday mornings, a weekly market is held in the central parking lot. A huge market attended by many individuals. Here you’ll discover everything. Fresh fruits and veggies, souvenirs, handbags, clothing, etc.
Purchase a bag of churros, the traditional Spanish sweet delight. During the peak season, this location is crowded. It is recommended to arrive as early as you can.
✓ Beaches
Moraira features multiple beaches. The vast Ampolla sand beach in the city center is a famous tourist destination. The periods of July and August are crowded. The harbor of Portet is a lovely bay surrounded by wealthy mansions and mountains. When the weather is favorable, leisure boats anchor here. Numerous terraces, white homes, and turquoise water make this a fantastic Facebook photo location.
✓ Excellent Atmosphere
Moraira’s pleasant vibe differs from that of Benidorm and Calpe. The majority of tourists stay in luxurious villas, which creates a distinct crowd. No intoxicated youth groups or bachelor parties are seen often. However, it’s not the Valhalla of the wealthy, with fancy cars and huge yachts. Moraira is easygoing and civilized.
✓ Properties For Every Budget
As was previously stated, Moraira lacks tall apartment buildings (except for the 2 iconic flats near El Portet). There are three- or four-story apartment buildings in the city center. On the surrounding mountains are elegant mansions and bungalow parks. Historically, homes frequently featured a round accent. The current trend in architecture is clean and minimalistic design. Residences range from 150,000 to well over one million euros. The Engel & Völkers Moraira team is prepared to assist you with your home search.
✓ Always Something To Do – Traditional Events
The much more famous traditional celebration is known as “Moros y Cristianos.” A celebration of the Christians’ victory over the Moors. There will be parades, “beach fights,” traditional clothing, and fireworks. A bright show in June.
Some few weeks later, in July, the feast of Moraira’s patron saint, Mare de Deu dels Desemparats. This is yet another festival worthy of attendance. With a religious procession, a boat parade on the water, and a massive fireworks display at the castle.
In August, Teulada holds the festival of Moscatell. Moscatell is the sweet wine produced from the region’s grapes.
In addition to these traditional fiestas, there are additional events. Similar to the culinary event or the late-night shopping events.
✓ Safety
Moraira is calm and unruffled. Here, the streets are safe. Aggression is uncommon. No rioters, quarrellers, or fights. It is possible for an incident to occur, however this region has a low crime rate in general.
✓ Location and Accessibility
Moraira enjoys an advantageous position. Not just for the environment. Valencia and Alicante airports are approximately an hour’s drive apart. In less than twenty minutes, you access the motorway (highway). From here, you can reach the Ondara shopping center within 10 minutes.
✓ Flat Centre
The central area of Moraira is largely level. Consequently, it is also an excellent site for the elderly and those with limited mobility.
✓ Beautiful Nature
To flee the urban atmosphere, one need not travel far. The surroundings of Moraira is comprised of mountainous landscapes and breathtaking scenery. With its vineyards and springtime blossoming trees, Jalon’s region is already quite distinct. A excursion to Guadalest or a drive across the Coll de Rates. It’s all conceivable.
