Re: moraira
Hi Andy
We don't live there full time, but try to get over every couple of months,
We first visited Moraira about 25 years ago, bought a plot of land some 14 years ago and the rest is history.
What about you?,
Regards

Re: moraira
Moraira and the Benissa Costa run along the coast and merge into each other along the coast road, Benissa the town is a different beast and is a 7km or so drive up the hillside.
Benissa is larger than Moraira and more of a Spanish working town, the Benissa Costa is more of an unofficial extension of Moraira and most visitors are unaware you have crossed into another council untill they hit Calpe where the change is obvious.
The whole area is very different to the Costa Blanca South, Greener, more mountainous and generally property is much more expensive, the area is regarded as quite affluent and is offten known as little Europe due to the many different nationalities there.
If you are thinking about buying a business then of course you need to visit to make your own mind up, also be careful about listings you see on property portals, they will offten list as being Moraira but in fact they are in Teulada which is its parent town up the hill, a lovely town but property is cheaper and tourists are few and far between

Re: moraira
We have had a place there for 9 1/2 years, the winter is when we spend most time there, as with most coastal areas the population drops dramatically, i would guess maybe 25 to 30 % of the restaurants and bar's close for winter, the shops trade all year round, there are only 3 hotels i can think of and only one of them is other than a very small family affair, the only larger one is i would guess 60 rooms so still not big.
From that you will gather it's nearly all villas and in towns apartments so in summer it private rentals which swells the town and in winter it's normally the villa owners

Re: moraira
No, i wouldn't say it was busy but it's far from dead, the only place along that northern coast that i would call busy in winter is Benidorm, the rest are just ticking over which we really like, in the summer you can't park anywhere, the beaches are packed etc, etc, for us she is not at her best.
When we are there we go into Moraira most days, its the nearest town to us, having said that we rarely eat there, we normally drive into the mountains where you can get better food at 1/4 of the price, we often sit on the beach at El Portet as the winter sun goes down, it's a very pleasant part of the world for sure

Re: moraira
Hi
Over the years the only business I have seen that looks successful in Moraira is construction, building large villas for wealthy people, its when you come to sell that reality kicks in and you have to reduce your asking price to suit the re- sales market.
Good luck with the established business
