An upbeat coastal town firmly rooted in tradition, holidays to Moraira are all about relaxation and classic Mediterranean beach life.
Humble beginnings
Once a sleepy fishing village, Moraira's blossomed into a lively town on the Costa Blanca's northern edge. Now a popular tourist spot, it stays true to its old-school Spanish roots with cosy cafés, authentic restaurants and palm-fringed streets. This is Spain at its finest, from the afternoon siesta to late-night sangria.
Best of the Med
The country's third-largest city, Valencia, is only a 90-minute drive up the coast. Here you'll find ultra-modern architecture from the science museum to the aquarium, alongside historic old-town landmarks like the famous Gothic cathedral. Be sure to sample some paella too – a Valencian speciality.
