The village of Moraira is picturesque and has shops, bars and restaurants. It is on the sea and there is a beach, harbour and marina. There is a local fish market with auctions most mornings and a general market in Moraira every Friday morning. An interesting car boot sale takes place on Sunday mornings near the Red Cross Station just as you are leaving the nearby village of Teulada. There is a beautiful beach round the bay from Moraira in a village called Portet.

It is worthwhile exploring the surrounding area and taking advantage of the special menus of the day which the restaurants in nearby Jalon Valley offer (try Pepe's, Beni Rossa, La Solana - all near Alcalali and signposted).

Jalon Valley is a short car journey from Moraira, through rugged scenery. There are mountain passes, which lead on to Altea and, further afield, Benidorm. The coastal road from Alicante airport to Moraira is especially scenic; this brings you through Calpe where wild flamingos can be viewed on the salt flats.
