Why Swedes love Moraira

  • The low level of development – no high-rises, just villas and greenery.
  • The exclusive tranquillity – you escape the mass tourism while still having luxury restaurants.
  • The microclimate – the valley is protected by the mountains, giving milder winters.
  • The safety – one of the safest and best-kept areas in Spain.

🤔Who is it NOT suitable for?

  • Those seeking nightlife and parties (here it is all about dinners and wine).
  • Budget buyers (the prices per m² are among the highest on the coast).
  • Those wanting to manage entirely without a car (unless you live in pricey Pla del Mar).
  • Families with teenagers who want action and shopping centres around the corner.
