Moraira

It was not that long ago since holidaymakers discovered the sleepy little fishing village of Moraira with its variety of gorgeous stony and sandy beaches that can be found both in the town itself and along the coastline. At that time, the villagers´ main livelihood was fishing, and their main diet consisted of eating the fish they caught. Today the system remains as it has been for hundreds of years; the fishermen go to sea in the early hours of the morning to catch the produce, which is sold later that day by auction at the traditional fish market. This market has grown over the years, and is now one of the most important fish markets in the Costa Blanca region. We are pleased to offer a selection of great value Moriara villas to rent.

The choice and quality of the local cuisine will be one of the most enjoyable memories of your Moraira villa holiday. From "paella orblack" with rice coloured from the ink of the squid, to Arroz de¡ Señoret (local paella made with filleted fish and shellfish) or Arroz Abanda (rice in a fish sauce), these dishes are just a small example of the wide range of traditional fare of the Marina Alta.

The Moraira diet is equally balanced between produce from the sea, the surrounding hills and the fields.

Apart from rice based dishes, you can sample a huge variety of recipes using local fish, shellfish, meat and game. For something sweet to conclude your meal, you are spoilt for choice with the range of deserts using locally grown foodstuffs such as almonds and raisins.

There are more than 100 national and international venues to choose from in the area, ranging from simple tapas bars through to international Michelin starred restaurants.
