Re: Moraira
 
Yes absolutely with you Moirara is lovely and the music festivals during the summer whilst having dinner - something else.

But as in all things personal choice and for us Javea as in we will only be there short time as in two to three years (God allowing) then back to France where we have a home.

Javea for us is functional

best wishes

If you haven't heard of it already you might want to consider joining the Javea Connect facebook group. It can be a little noisy but it's a great resource for local issues and questions.

Yes it is the one run by Loraine but I don't know her personally. It's currently got over 5000 members who I presume are from the Javea/Denia/Moraira area.

We also have had a place in Moraira about 10 years and try to get out there as much as possible.
Would agree it is a lovely place to live.

How about a pic of your favourite view in Moraira?

Excellent. Congratulations on your discovery.

What sort of response were you looking for?

I went to Moraira today it's a lovely little place. In my opinion much nicer than Javea. It has everything you need in a small place and so pretty.
Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

I was sharing what I thought was a lovely place to highlight certain areas that others may find of interest.

Ah ok. Thanks :-)

I've been there and like it too. Far too quiet and expat for my liking, but nice for a visit.

Where do you like Coastals, regions I mean ?

Re: Moraira
 
I've always loved Huelva and Cadiz but I don't get there often because it's not very well connected. I like Valencia region for its position and connections to other good parts of the country.

That’s why we love Moraira, quiet but not dead, bit like a little Europe as far as people go, was often told Moraira was nearly all British , haven’t found that at all, seams a good mix of French, Germans, Belgium’s, Swiss, British, Scandinavians and of course Spanish Etc

That’s what makes Spain such a great place for me, having travelled all over Europe touring on my motorcycle I always ended up back there, and the country is so diverse, inland deserts like places, the coast and of course the north, some of which reminded me of the south east of England with its fields, hedgerows and cows grazing, still I digress!

It is of course an issue of preferences, but Alicante is more vivid, its a city, but at the same time very cosy and comfortable to live in, especially if you live in northern part of the city (Zona Golf or Cabo de las Huertas, or San Juan). You can get here the tranquility of a "pueblo" and the buzz of the city (but only if you want). The amenities and services are the best, as it is the centre of the region.

Bit slow posting on this one as I've been working away in Iraq. We've had a place in Moraira for seven years. Our neighbours are Swiss, Belgian, Bahamian and English so truly mixed nationality. We love the place as do all our friends in the UK who've visited. Nothing can beat sitting next to the Med. In El Portet, drinking coffee at the beachside cafe, looking across at the Penyal D'Ifach Rock under an azure sky.
We were there at the beginning of January. The weather was fantastic. The cafes were full and about 60%+ of the restaurants were open. When the weather's good Moraira is not dead in winter. When it's cold and raining it may probably appear dead like most other coastal resorts.
