Moraira
What’s it like?
Once a sleepy fishing village, Moraira has grown into an attractive resort retaining considerable charm. With a superb marina and Michelin-starred restaurants, it has been tagged a millionaires’ playground. Moraira’s fine micro-climate ensures cool breezes in summer, and with its protection against cold north winds, in winter the average temperatures hover around 64ºF. There’s an excellent variety of shops, a pretty square and weekly open markets selling everything from herbs and spices to leather goods and pottery. The harbourside bars ooze Mediterranean character and the locals are extremely welcoming. The Blue Flag beaches are well-tended and perfect for families.
