Moraira is a small Spanish coastal town, part of Teulada (also known as Teulada-Moraira) municipality,
in the Marina Alta comarca, 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia. It is a tourist resort on the
highly-developed Costa Blanca strip, with 8 km of coastline backed by mountains and vineyards.


 

Moraira’s roots as a fishing village are still in evidence; its fish market
is one of the most popular in the Costa Blanca region. The Moraira region is
also famous for the growing of Muscatel grapes for wine-making.


However, the economy of Moraira is now built around tourism. Little remains
of the fishing cottages that once made up the little port that serviced the town
of Teulada that stands at the head of the valley. To preserve the heritage of
the area, the Teulada council passed laws protecting the abundant pine trees and
limited the height of buildings. It has a marina built in 1985, operated by Club Náutico
Moraira. Moraira is also seen as a culinary destination, with many restaurants.
Moraira has several sandy beaches popular with families, and rocky coves and
inlets frequented by snorkelers and scuba divers.
