Especially, the Mediterranean area is one which combines all these factors best. Its climate is mild throughout the year (little rain throughout the year, hot in summer and not very cold in winter) and is famous for the Mediterranean diet, the healthiest. Specifically, one of his Valencian municipalities, Teulada, with its port in Moraira, is known for its good work in the culinary part, with typical products of Alicante.

Teulada is located in the district of Marina Alta. It is divided into two towns, Teulada (near to the mountains) and Moraira, looking to the coast. It is a beautiful place for visitors and has been inhabited for thousands of years. Proof of this are the prehistoric sites of Cova de la Cendra, Morro del Castellar, Tossal de la Font Santa, Cova de les Rafes or Punta de Moraira, among others. Visitors also enjoy strolling through the castle of Moraira, Capd’Or tower and the old walls. It is a very touristy area. In fact, this activity is its economic engine, over fishing.
