Property in Moraira is valuable and premium. The town planners are very careful about how the town is developing, and have ensured that the buildings retain an old-world feel, rather than being skyscrapers that change the tone of the town drastically. They help dot the beach with modest-looking structures that are fun and relaxing without putting on airs.

Another thing to note about Moraira is that it remains a thriving center of agriculture, growing famed muscatel grapes used in wine growing. These grapes have a sweet aroma and can be popped into the mouth as-is or made into raisins. In this way, the town remains vital as a provider for avid eaters—it has its roots in fishing.

Today, one can visit this past by stopping by the fish market to pick up some sea bream, red mullet, or scorpion fish. The town also has a larger market on Fridays, home to various foodstuffs, not to mention fabrics and other items.

When I go to Moraira, I relax and feel like I want to never leave this is true just homey and inviting. However, no one stays anywhere forever, and Moraira offers nice access to many other areas.

Whether you are on a quick visit, a long term stay of a month, or a permanent residence, you’ll want to try the many restaurants in Moraira.
