Holiday To Moraira As A Child
My first ever holiday was when I was 5yrs old, it was at a Villa in Moraira with my mother, father and grandfather. After my first flight on an aero plane and what seemed a long drive from the airport in a ridiculously small hire car, which I clearly remember as I was ill during the journey due to the excitement, we then had to spend ages in the dark trying to find the villa.
During this holiday I recall most of the time spent in the swimming pool surrounded by Spanish villa images and how the weather was sunny, hot and very humid! At the heart of the Costa Blanca in Spain lies the popular holiday resort of Moraira, where i enjoyed building sandcastles with my grandfather and swimming amongst the waves!
There are lots of shops, restaurants and bars in the town centre, where you can try out the finest Spanish cuisine including the famous paella dish as well as the seafood which is all locally caught and displayed at the picturesque marina every morning¦well worth a visit.
The villa we stayed in was called Villa Moraira had all the usual facilities as well as two very spacious bedrooms, accompanied by a decent sized balcony which looked out onto a large shared swimming pool, even though this was the middle of July I seemed to be be the only person using it! Across the road was a tennis court which was free to use (once again we were the only people to use it) unfortunately not being old enough to play, I had to sit and watch, as did two dobermans sitting behind a large fence of a neighbouring villa directly above the court, any balls up there were not retrieved!
