Moraira

Situated between the mountains and the sea, it’s easy to see why Moraira is a sought-after destination for savvy property hunters. Once a sleepy fishing village, the town now draws an international crowd seeking an authentic Spanish experience.

Strict planning laws mean there are no enormous hotel complexes blighting the landscape – most of the properties are detached two-storey villas with private pools nestling in the trees along the coast, or Spanish “pueblo-style” developments with communal pools.

The attractive prices and picturesque location have tempted many Brits, Germans, Dutch and Scandinavians to the area in recent years to make it their home.

Where to Buy Property in Moraira

In Moraira (and Benissa) any houses that are being built at the current time tend to be detached villas of high quality and with an average surface of 300 m2 in plots of 800-1000 m2. The picturesque location has tempted many property buyers - home hunters from Madrid are common, but there are many foreign buyers from the UK, Germany, Russia, Scandinavian countries Belgium, France and Holland.

The town itself is a mix of narrow cobbled alleys and wide modern avenues lined with palm trees. Designer clothes shops and the vibrant cafes and bars draw city slickers from Madrid, as well as European families in the summer. The Friday morning market, held in the town square, offers an array of fresh produce as well as clothes and jewellery and there’s a regular fish market for the locally caught seafood.

Those who prefer their meals cooked for them are spoilt for choice with bars and restaurants to suit all budgets and styles, ranging from tapas to Michelin-starred restaurants.

Moraira has four main beaches –the largest Playa la Ampolla is within walking distance of the town, located just below the castle – and numerous small coves. Just 1km along the coast, El Portet’s sheltered bay boasts the best of the town’s beaches and a pretty promenade lined with bars and restaurants.

In the valley, just inland, vineyards flourish in the sheltered conditions, yielding Muscat grapes, perfect for the sweet dessert wine, Muscatel. You won’t find much to buy for €100,000 - a small apartment, maybe - with two-bedders from €150,000, with two-bedroom villas from around €200,000. Villas go up to over €1m or even €3m.
