Vacation Rental Description
The property is situated on the ground floor, under the main house, commonly called an 'underbuild' in Spain. The apartment is comfortably furnished and fully equipped, with the main bedroom using 'zip and link' beds for either double or twin use. A large comfortable sofa bed is situated in the lounge, and is easily converted to provide a double bed. Just outside the front door is the private pool with exclusive use for your holiday. Views from the front of the apartment, across the vineyards, and down to the sea 1 kilometre away.
The village of Moraira is ten minutes level walking distance, where all amenities can be found, including restaurants, bars, shops, pharmacy and the marina. The medical centre is at the entrance to the main car park.
The Province of Alicante where Moraira is found is defined as having fine sandy beaches, rocky ones and mysterious coves and, these are some of the choices that the 8 kilometres of shore with the Blue Flag of the European Community can also offer you in Moraira. Either on foot or with small boats, this long stretch of beach area has crystal clear waters, restaurants right on the beach, parking areas.
One nice cute cove with a lot of history is the one called the Portet. It was the place of shelter for Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Arab or privateer sailing or trading ships. Today its a well equipped zone for doing all kinds of nautical sports. And from there you can take a stroll to the watch out tower near the Cap d’Or ( the Golden Cape). This tower is on the most elevated part of the cape, overlooking the beach mentioned before. The castle of Moraira was built in 1742 and there is a shield from the Royal Borbon family over the door way.
If either coming along the national highway N-332 or by AP-7 ( pay highway), the landscape is filled with vineyards and there is a nice wine cellar to be visited. There is a great street market in Teulada, just 8 kilometres inland from Moraira.
If you are lucky enough to be there in July, the Patron Saint is the Virgin of the Unsheltered and the Virgin of Carmen who is said to protect the sailors and fishermen. There is a beautiful parade and fireworks and a water procession with the statue of the Virgin floating among endless bouquets of flowers. Quite a scene to be seen!
In June there is the noted (and this year televised) Fiesta of the Moors and Christians. The celebrations last all week around the 19th June, and end with a spectacular firework display over the sea.

While Moraira provides the normal amenities, there are theme parks, a zoo, water parks and cabaret nightclubs twenty minutes drive away. For the active holidaymaker, there are water sports facilities ten minutes drive away in the next town of Altea. Some of the best scuba diving can be found off the coast of Moraira, and there are several dive centres in the area.
Flights to Alicante or Valencia. Moraira is 45 minutes drive from Alicante airport and one and a half hours from Valencia.
Car hire can be arranged with prior notice, or at the airport with Avis car hire. Airport transfers can also be arranged at a much reduced price than the normal taxis. Several airlines offer very cheap flights, depending on when and where you want to fly from. It is worth looking at Flybe from Exeter, Ryanair from Newquay and Easyjet from Bristol, but most regional airports have budget airlines flying to Alicante.
