History

There is evidence that there has been human habitation in Moraira since 15000 BC and objects have been found in Cova de la Cendra to confirm this. Barbary pirates raided the coast during the 16th Century and, for this reason, look-out tower was built on the Cap d’Or. This tower has been restored and can be reached from the sea front at El Portet. The centre of Moraira is dominated by the Castillo de Moraira which was also to protect the coast from barbary pirates in the 16th century. It is still a very much treasured feature of Moraira, even though it was badly damaged by the British fleet in 1801. At the end of the 18th century, crops were exported by sea from the ports of Moraira and El Portet but gradually the local people turned to fishing and the small houses used for tackle were enlarged to become fisherman’s houses, which led to Moraira becoming a village. Moraira covers an area of 32km2 and has 1000 hectares of vineyards in the hills, with a further 2000 hectares under cultivation. Moraira has a Mediterranean climate and the area averages approximately 3000 hours of sunshine, with an average temperature of 20 degrees. In 1986 the World Health Organisation declared that the climate in Moraira was one of the best climates in the world.

What Can I Do If I Buy Property In Moraira?

When you live, or are on holiday, in Moraira you will find there are endless things to do to enjoy one of the Mediterranean’s most attractive locations:

Beaches In Moraira

There are two main beaches in Moraira: L’Ampolla, next to the castle, and El Portet, on the far side of the port. Both have gently shelving sandy beaches and are perfect for children. L’Ampolla has a play area, toilets and lifeguards in summer and a beach bar that has an adjoining restaurant. El Portet is long and thin and is backed by a small selection of places to eat and drink. Out of season, the beaches are great to visit as there is plenty of room for ball games and picnics. In the middle of the two beaches is the Port. This is still a thriving fishing port which supplies many Moraira restaurants with the ‘catch of the day’. The Port is also home to some of the most luxurious yachts that sail the Mediterranean. When viewing property for sale in Moraira you can often rent or book time on these yachts to explore the incredible coastline further. The drive along the coastal road from Moraira to Calpe reveals lots of hidden rocky coves and small beaches, often with a bar or two where you can unwind with a glass of something and a fantastic sea view.
