Moraira-Teulada
La Marina Alta is a great place to
spend a restful few days. This area,
in the north of the province
of Alicante, is a mixture between
the Costa Brava and la Costa Cálida.
Mountains, pine trees and views over
the Mediterranean sea in a peaceful
rural setting where there is a large
community of European residents (63%
of the overall population) living alongside
the locals who maintain their traditional
way of life. The language spoken by
the locals here is valenciano.
Moraira on the coast and Teulada inland
are just a few minutes from eachother.
Moraira used to be a small fishing harbour
belonging to Teulada before it was discovered
by foreigners seeking a home in the
sun.
