TEULADA-MORAIRA

Teulada-Moraira is one of the most charming tourist coastal towns on the Costa Blanca. Moraira is originally a fishing village on the Costa Blanca and is located between the popular towns of Calpe and Jávea. Unlike many other coastal towns in Spain, Moraira has retained its own character. Here are no big hotels or other high-rise buildings. There is individual tourism; they stay in detached villas, situated in residential areas and almost always with a private swimming pool. In the center of Moraira and on the beaches there is a pleasant bustle without being crowded. The atmospheric terraces are always well occupied, as are the shops. The port of Moraira now houses mainly pleasure boats and other recreational boats. The freshly caught fish is still being auctioned at the port.
