Always get brilliant cocktails at The Square! Ellie (I think is the name of the lovely manager) is always so friendly and welcoming, she’s attentive and looks after us well every time! The cocktails have always been a ten out of ten, especially the sex on the beach and the lime crush, but they upped their game this year by having the prettiest glasses too! Great central location, great service and great drinks! What more could you ask for :).

Well worth the trip, takes about 15-20 minutes to get to the top. Beautiful views on the way up and even better once your next to the tower. If your up for an early start then I would highly recommend going up for sunrise, breathtaking views. My fiancé proposed to me up next to the tower - just perfect. Enjoy.

Moraira's main beach, visited with family including young children. Great sandy beach, can get crowded in the summer. There is a cafe beachfront selling everything from meals to beach snacks and drinks. Waves are small, and beach stays shallow for a while. There is a blow-up waterpark thing about 100yds offshore, you can buy passes for it on the beach. My kids 6&9 had a blast on it. Parking is free at the adjacent town parking lot, but it does fill up quickly. Locally there are typical beach stores selling chairs, umbrellas, etc. There is also a vendor that rents out beach chairs and umbrellas right on the beach. There are life guards on duty. Restaurants nearby. Dresscode in the beach cafe and local restuarants is very relaxed during the day. There is also a town public bathroom nearby.

Moraira market is every Friday morning, with stalls selling everything from fruit and veg to handbags to hardware. Parking is a bit of an issue, as the market is set up in the big car park but you can always find somewhere. The fruit and veg stalls are wonderful, and there is a 'pick and mix' style sweet stall. Don't miss the churro van - fresh churros sprinkled with sugar. It's packed in the summer months, so go early.

The Castillo of Moraira is set on the seafront near the Marina and is a prominent landmark of this town. From its position you have wonderful views of the bay and the town of Calpe with its prominent rock. We didn't go inside the Castillo as each time we passed it wasn't open which was a shame.
