CALPE
The sun drenched coastline of the Costa
Blanca plays host to some of the prettiest towns in Spain.The
town of Calpe has more to offer than you first imagined; not only are the
beaches beautiful (and safe) but the ‘old town’ will captivate you.
Over a period of time the south has become quite cosmopolitan, so should
you crave for some real Spanish culture wander off the beaten track and
you’ll come across the Spanish way of life. On every corner you’ll find
cafes, bars and restaurants with menus to tantalize your taste buds!
On Saturday mornings why not take a leisurely stroll around the street
market, where you’ll find quality leather goods, clothes and an array of
splendid fruit and veg.
Down at the port, you’ll be able to see the fishermen bringing in their
morning catch, anything from Swordfish to Prawns & Squid to Sardines.
The restaurants here pride themselves on their fresh seafood and
traditional Spanish cuisine.
Spain has it’s fair share of Fiestas in the warmer months, and you’ll see
giant Paellas being cooked in the streets. If you join the queue, you’ll
be able to sample the end result!
If you fancy an adrenaline rush and see yourself as a matador pop along to
the bull-running.
But please take note;
the Spaniards are experienced in this high risk pastime and 9 times out of
10, they know what they’re doing.
If you’re a novice, ‘look and learn’ and keep your wits about you!
NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED.
MORAIRA
It was not that long ago that
holidaymakers discovered this sleepy little fishing village,
with its variety of gorgeous sandy and stony
beaches that can be found both in the town
itself and along the coastline. At that time, the villagers´ main
livelihood was fishing, and their main diet consisted of eating the fish
they caught.
What used to be the fishermens´storage
huts have now been converted into picturesque houses. One of the reasons
why many inhabitants of Teulada moved down to Moraira was work related;
they decided to move to the coast for, if you live by the sea, you become
a fisherman.
Today the system remains as it has been for hundreds of years;
thefishermen go to sea in the early hours of the morning to catch the
produce, which is sold later that day by auction at the traditional fish
market. This market has grown over the years, and is now one of the most
important fish markets in the Costa Blanca region.
