History
Teulada, a municipality five kilometers from
the coast, was founded in 1386 by the Lords of
Lluria, Serria, and Grandia.
In the 16th century, the coast was raided by Barbary
pirates, and Teulada was fortified with a lookout
tower on the Cap d’Or. The Castillo de Moraira,
located in what is now the center of the town, was
completed in 1742 and armed with four bronze cannons.
The castle was damaged during the French
Revolutionary Wars but has since been restored.
By the end of the 18th century, Teulada had become
a farming village, with crops exported by sea from
natural ports. Fishing became an additional source
of income, and small buildings by the coast were expanded
to become homes for the fishermen. Moraira
gradually developed into a small fishing village.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Moraira’s economy transformed
due to international tourism. The town expanded
dramatically to accommodate new holiday
homes and infrastructure for tourists. Today, the
permanent population of Moraira is around 10,000,
with a high proportion of expatriates living in the
town permanently. The area is very popular with affluent
retirees, especially British, and the majority
of visitors to Moraira are Spanish, British, German,
Dutch, and French.
