Welcome to Teulada
For those who cherish the beauty of the Costa Blanca but prefer a more tranquil environment away from the usual tourist trails, Teulada offers a perfect retreat amidst lush, scenic landscapes.
Rich Historical Tapestry and Modern Architectural Marvels
Teulada, a charming Spanish town, serves as the administrative center for the Teulada-Moraira local government. Encircled by ancient medieval walls, the town is an architectural gem, featuring the striking Gothic church of Santa Catalina. Notable historical sites include the Ermita de la Font Santa, a hermitage built around a fountain to commemorate a miracle by Saint Vincent Ferrer in the 15th century. In contrast, the Auditorium of Teulada-Moraira, completed in 2011, showcases modern design by Francisco Robado Beloqui, offering a state-of-the-art venue for concerts and events.
Agricultural Heritage and Gastronomic Delights
Historically an agricultural hub, Teulada's landscape was transformed by terracing and irrigation techniques introduced by the Moors. Today, the region is celebrated for its fine wines, raisins, and the cultivation of oranges, olives, and almonds. This bounty supports a vibrant culinary scene, including everything from local eateries to Michelin-recommended restaurants like Sand in Moraira, ensuring a rich gastronomic experience for all budgets.
Tourism and Recreational Activities
While agriculture has long been the economic backbone, tourism, particularly in the coastal area of Moraira, has become a significant economic driver. Only six kilometers away, Moraira features eight kilometers of pristine beaches and coves such as Platgetes, Portet, and L’Ampolla, ideal for activities like scuba diving, sailing, and biking.
Strategically Located for Exploration
Teulada's location is advantageous for exploring the broader region. It lies almost equidistant from Denia, Javea, and Calpe, while Benidorm and its array of urban attractions are just a thirty-minute drive away.
