Its charm comes from having grown as a village, without losing its atmosphere of a typical fishing port. Proof of this are the fish auctions held from Tuesday to Sunday in the auction house, and we can also point out the big extension of agricultural land.

Teulada takes up the agricultural area (inland), with an economy that used to be principally agriculture and now expand to coast where Moraira offers you many facilities. (see welcome picture)
Around Moraira you can see the different urbanizations or residential area in the middle of the nature and sea, integrated by villas with pools, bungalows etc.

Constructed over the Pla de Feliu in the XVI century, is the narrow church bell-tower. Around it is the old town centre that takes us back into the past. In the Plaza de la Creu there is a modernist building. In the Plaza de la Iglesia there is the church of Santa Catalina, the hermitage of the Divina Pastora and the Casa Abadía (rectory), restored in 1986.
The eight kilometres of coast offers visitors the chance to swim at beaches of fine sand or rocks, in coves or at wide, open beaches. Making a tour of the coast, we come to La Cala, a small rocky beach with transparent water and little visited because of the difficult acces from the sea or along a gully.
By boat we can round the cape (Cap d’Or) topped by a watchtower, until we reach the Playa del Portet. It is on this cape that we find the Cova de les Cendres, an important late Paleolithic archaecological site on the south-east slope aobut 40 metres above sea level.
In Moraira there is the beach of l’Ampolla at the foot of the castle. It has fine sand and it’s the widest and busiest in the town. Continuing towards Calpe there are the beaches of Platgetes with areas of sand and rocks, and l’Andrago (a rocky beach).
The beaches have the blue flag, given by CEE which means that the quality of the water and services are very good.
