Moraira

There is an old tale that Moraira was named after the heathen princess "Ira, la Mora" - hence "Mora Ira".
Before the huge influx of foreigners into the Moraira region, Moraira was a very small, unspoilt fishing village. Nowadays, although it has been developed to satisfy the needs of the people wishing to make the Moraira area their home or just to holiday there, Moraira has become an upmarket resort with none of the high rise hotel and apartment blocks associated with a lot of Spanish coastal resorts. There are many good restaurants in Moraira which to spend a relaxing evening.
