MORAIRA
Originally a small fishing village, Moraira has grown into a pretty, cosmopolitan town and is situated approximately 75 km from Alicante and 95km from Valencia in an area of outstanding beauty.
The local authority has exerted control over Moraira's development, with the result that it consists of mainly detached private villas on the surrounding hillsides with few holiday apartments and no "package holiday" hotels or numerous hi-rise buildings so common in other resorts. Whilst it retains an unspoilt charm, Moraira still has plenty to offer for all age groups.
There are many fine sandy beaches near to the centre of Moraira which slope gently into the Mediterranean Sea and are ideal for children. There is also a small funfair and several Discos in town or nearby.
For those who prefer more sporting activities, water sports including jet ski and sub aqua, boat hire, golf (La Sella Golf Course), tennis, horse riding and Go-cart racing are all very close to hand.
With hundreds of local Restaurants, having styles and nationalities too numerous to mention and delightful cafes and bars providing "tapas" and refreshment, Moraira and the surrounding area provide a culinary delight for it's visitors. It has the full spectrum of price ranges and there is something for everyone and everyone's pocket. These include, "La Taberna Suisse", "La Sort", "El Sid's" and "Monroe's Carvery"! The "menu del dia" can provide excellent value for money and even today you can find a three-course meal with bread and wine included for less than 10 Euros.
There are several local supermarkets for stocking up on your duty paid allowances or for those that want to do your own cooking in our well equipped kitchen, or perhaps on the BBQ, fresh meats, sumptuous locally caught fish and shell food, fruit and vegetables can all be obtained in local open air markets, each village having it's own "day".
Moraira has all the normal services of a small modern town, and banks, garages, boutiques, gift and souvenir shops, newsagents and book shops are all plenty-full.
THE COSTA BLANCA
The Costa Blanca is considered to be one of Spain's most attractive coastal regions. It combines rugged mountains and white sandy beaches with fertile plains of rich orange groves and almond orchards. Stretching midway along Spain's easten coast it retains a very Spanish atmosphere with many picturesque fishing villages, unspoint coves and inlets and numerous places of interest to visit.
From basketwork to locally made pottery, noughet and honey to caves, citadels and castles, the Costa Blanca offers so much more than just "sun, sea and sand"!
The attractions of Terramitica, Aqualandia and Mundomar are all a short drive away, as is the Vergal Safari Park.
As in other parts of Spain, Fiestas and Saint's Days are celebrated here with processions and parties, fireworks, food and wine! They are definetely not to be missed.
And as a final note, - The Costa Blanca is also considered by many, to have possibly the most perfect, all year round, climate in the world! The weather in Moraira is really Fit for Fantastic Holidays!
