El Castillo in Moraira
The villa is located in Moraira. This former small fishing port is now a
wonderful little city with fantastic tourism and plenty of cosy squares,
terraces, bars and, of course, delicious restaurants, many of which
specialise in fish. If you want to experience an authentic Spanish
environment, Moraira can offer you plenty of opportunities to explore
both the past and the present. Try visiting the old castle or the
watchtower that was used to protect the town against pirates. Or why not
check out the impressive yacht basin? This basin is protected by the
rocks of cap Blanc and Punta de Moraira. Or, to get a real taste Spain,
pick up your own fish for the day at the morning fish junction and take
home to the barbeque!
The Beach
The coast has much to offer. You can find both adventurous rocky beaches
and sandy
beaches with fairly shallow waters that are perfect for
children. Some beaches have even been rewarded with a European prize for
clean and clear marine water. The largest beach is close to the city
centre and is called L'Ampolla. The sandy beach at El Portet
is also fantastic and offers a boulevard with restaurants and terraces.
Sit down, enjoy the beach, the sun, a beverage and some tasty authentic
Spanish food.
