General information of Moraira   

The small coastal town Moraira on the Costa Blanca is part of Teulada municipality and is known for it´s tranquillity and it´s beautiful, large, traditional fishing and sports harbour. 

At the end of the 18th century, when Teulada, which lies more inland, was still a farming village, crops were transported by sea from the natural ports.

As time went by, the local people started 

to settle down near their working places

and started dedicating themselves more

and more to fishing. This was the beginning of the town nowadays known as Moraira. With an average annual temperature of 18 degrees and on average 320 sunny days a year, Moraira is an excellent all year round destination at the Costa Blanca.

It was built in the 18th century and meant for the protection against attacks by Berber pirates. The unusual shape of the building is commonly known as pezuña de buey (ox hoof) because of the semicircular southern outside wall and the straight northern outside wall.

Or visit the Parish Church of the “Mare de Déu dels Desemparats”. This church was built between 1875 and 1878 and is situated in the centre of Moraira. The church is rectangular in shape and inside quite plainand simple apart from the portrait of “Virgin de los Desamparados” and two beautiful mosaics.

The Torre de Vigilancia del Cap d´Or stands at the highest point of the Cap d´Or, on the edge of the rocky coastline. The tower is solid and does not have a doorway, to ascend the tower, a rope ladder was let down from above.
