You’ve made a great decision and taken the plunge, moving to the beautiful town of Moraira – congratulations! Many people choose to retire here, but there are also many who are employed locally or remotely, and letting your hair down at the weekend is easy in this town because there is so much happening. Whatever your personal interests and hobbies, you will never be bored when you buy a villa in Moraira.
Moraira’s coastline offers several golden beaches and sparkling coves where you can enjoy family time on the sand and paddling in the shallow waters of the main Playa de L’Ampolla or explore the waters of bays like Cala Advocat, which can be reached after a short walk. When you buy a property in Moraira, you have all this and more on your doorstep, so you might feel inclined to be more adventurous and take up kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling or diving.
Those who buy an apartment in Moraira will be immersed in village life, but everybody migrates fairly regularly into the centre to enjoy strolling around the pretty streets, enjoy a little shopping and stop for an aperitif, ice cream or tapas in the plentiful array of restaurants, cafés and bars. At fiesta time the town comes to life with music and parties that anyone can join in with and enjoy.
Within easy reach of this lovely town there is stunning countryside with valleys and mountains just waiting for exploration. Those who live in Moraira frequently join in with cycling, hiking and biking groups who arrange weekend excursions and enjoy each other’s company and common interests.
There are various groups to join and stretch out the joints after a week in the office. Some enjoy an early morning session on the beach, and what an excellent start to your weekend this could become when you move here. Some groups also raise money for local charities, so it’s a wonderful way to help the local community as well as making new friends.
Moraira is home to several charitable organisations who are always looking for additional help. There are fund-raising auctions, dinners and musical evenings but you can also donate, volunteer for a Saturday morning stint at a charity shop or enjoy looking after dogs and cats in a local rescue centre. Living in Moraira is all about becoming part of this wonderful, welcoming and helpful community, and all additional volunteers are greatly appreciated by these charities.
The Costa Blanca offers so much variety and there is so much to explore. Alicante and Valencia are great cities to spend a weekend exploring shops, castles, churches and other sites of historical interest. Perhaps head to Dénia Port and take the ferry across to the Balearic Islands for a short break. The journey itself is a bonus before exploring Ibiza or one of the other islands, which are slightly further away.
Weekends in Spain are all about meeting up with friends and family and enjoying some of the excellent food and wines available in the area, from a tasty paella to relaxed tapas in a bar. Many places have live music over the weekend, including Café y Vinobar La Experiencia, Momo’s Café Bar and Saxo. All this is in addition to a summer filled with music provided by local bands near the castle, beginning with the Moraira Music Festival in early June. Despite the relaxing feeling this little town has, Moraira also has a vibrant heart and music scene which is as important to the residents as the beautiful surroundings, wonderful dinners, excellent wines and cocktails.
Once the week’s chores are up to date and your evening out is planned, you might just want to relax and unwind. What better reason to buy a luxury villa in Moraira than to sit by your pool with a good book and simply enjoy being at home!
