Originally a small farming and fishing village Moraira today is a delightful holiday resort based around the marina. The town centre still retains its traditional character and there is no high-rise development. The main town is set in the valley with most holiday villas built in typical ?Spanish pueblo? style on the hillsides with a pleasant southerly view towards the Mediterranean. The town centre has a good choice of restaurants, cafes and bars with more along the coast. Being a coastal town with its own fishing fleet and a strong agricultural tradition various seafood dishes with fresh vegetables feature in the local cuisine. The main beach Playa la Ampolla is a good-size and gently shelving making it safe for children. There is another smaller beach at El Portet with soft sand and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Both beaches have beach bars and restaurants which are open late. Along the coast you will find many other coves and bays. Some watersports are on offer in Moraira with more available in nearby Calpe.
