Moraira is a beautiful small town that is situated in La Marina which is halfway between Alicante. This town is one of the most preserved towns on the resorts of Costa Blanca and it has 8 km of a beautiful coastline which is surrounded by mountains. Years back, this town was just a coastal hamlet. This is where local fishermen used to store their boats and nets after fishing. Moraira's history is believed to date back during man's evolution. There were objects found in a cave on the Cap d'Or which is a headland that protects El Portet and Moraira beaches. The objects revealed that human habitation in Moraira existed hundreds of years back. It is believed that the Upper Paetholic class of humans(15, 000 to 20, 000 BC) lived in this town.

 

After that, the Iberians are the people who arrived next. In fact, their ports remain unearthed even up to date on the Cap d'Or. Nowadays, Moraira has over 2,000 hectares of of land which are seriously under cultivation. Another 1,000 hectares of land are under vineyards. This town also has a history for wine making. In fact, the vineyard areas are where Muscatel grapes are grown which are used for wine making.

 

Nowadays, Moraira has changed a bit. It's changing face attracts and captivates those wishing to start a new lifestyle and holiday makers too. The once sleepy fishing villages still retain their beauty and charm. The locals have remained unchanged throughout the years and are still friendly. The place is still decorated with pine trees and rocky and sandy coves on the coast road. The beauty of the place is further seen when one looks at the blue Mediterranean canals that cover the town. The local authorities have played a very integral role in maintaining the authenticity of this town. For instance, they do not allow high rise buildings to spoil the Moirara skylines. In fact, before any building is built, the town hall has to make sure that it adheres to their strict guidelines.
