The Costa Blanca is served by Alicante, Valencia and Murcia airports and therefore easily accessible from anywhere in Europe as it is very well serviced by all of the major budget airlines.
It is also well connected by road, just 3.5 hrs drive from Mardrid and close to the A7 / E15 toll motorway which connects the Costa Blanca all the way to the South of France.
The Costa Blanca's all year round moderate climate and over 300 days of sunshine make this an ideal area for retirement or to purchase a holiday home. Below are the monthly average temperatures:

We are based in Moraira, the most exclusive Costa Blanca town. It offers beautiful, clean sandy beaches, stunning, green coastline and a perfect mix of upmarket restaurants, bars, shops and traditional spanish culture.
About Moraira
Few people forget their visit to Moraira having discovered the jewel in the Costa Blanca's crown. Moraira's roots are those of a small fishing village and one of the first things you realise when you arrive is that unlike the other resorts along the Spanish coastline, Moraira has not forgotten its roots. Although Moraira has grown in recent years, becoming one of the most popular destinations on the Costa Blanca it has not sold-out to the tourist boom and isn't plagued by the high rise buildings and overcrowding of other resorts as very strict town planning rules have prevented over-construction.
The town centre and beaches are very clean and attractive and an obvious attention to detail has gone into the town's planning, this is apparent in everything you see, including how easy it is to park in the town centre itself.
Quite simply, Moraira is now the most exclusive and pleasant in the region retaining all of the charm of a small picturesque fishing town nestled between mountains and vineyards but at the same time offering a real variety to its residents.
Moraira's main beach is situated right next to the town centre with convenient pedestrian walkways and a park area meaning that it is not necessary to cross any roads to get to the town or the marina from the beach.
Moraira offers a huge variety of restaurants and bars to cater for every taste and budget. Whether you are looking for typical Spanish cuisine in Spanish surroundings or international cuisine like Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Italian or even just egg & chips, then Moraira offers it all in style.
As the sun goes down and your meal is finished you can always head to one of Moraira's many cafe bars and sit and watch the world go by, or move on to one of several bars or one of the town's two nightclubs.
Intertwined with Moraira's restaurants and bars are many interesting shops that stay open late into the evening. These range from the usual tourist fayre, to designer clothing, art galleries, spanish leather goods and fresh produce that can be found in the local bakers, butchers and fish mongers.
The Friday market held opposite the town centre is an excellent opportunity to purchase all manner of fresh produce as well as imitation leather goods, clothing and jewellery. For the adventurous a fresh fish market at which all are welcome is held in the town's marina every morning except Sunday.
Just walking around Moraira is a rewarding pursuit in itself - the central market square has many places to sit down and eat or drink, the streets are a mix of quaint cobbled narrow alleys and modern avenues lined with palm trees and fountains and there are many quiet places to sit and watch the world go by or to watch the sea and stunning vista along the coastline to Calpe.
For the active Moraira offers an excellent array of sports to suit all, including jet ski hire, water skiing, deep sea fishing, diving tuition and equipment hire, tennis courts, a golf course, mini golf and mountain bike hire. For children there are specially designed park areas to play safely in and around the town.
Moraira is geographically situated in a perfect location, around Moraira itself the landscape changes from the desert like flatness of Alicante to become greener and more undulating as you head North. It is an ideal location to easily visit other towns including Gudalest, Benidorm, Calpe, Javea, Valencia, Alicante and Denia.
