Moraira is located on the Costa Blanca (White Coast) approx. 100 kms north of Alicante and 125 kms south of Valencia. For those of you who know Moraira, you will wish to return time and time again.  Because of its excellent climate and unspoilt appearance, Moraira has been chosen by many people from all over Europe as a second home - many have decided to make it their permanent home.

The area is very green with pinewoods, vine terraces and orange groves covering the landscape together with whitewashed house and villas scattered among the surrounding hills and valleys. 

Moraira is a small Spanish town, previously a fishing village, which has developed over the past few years. The historic Castle stands majestically on the waterfront next to the beach, providing a focal point for the various fiestas. The town's yacht marina, numerous restaurants and shops, set amongst pedestrianised areas, allow for endless browsing and alfresco dining.
