Moraira, Spain - A Place in the Sun

Moraira, Spain, Lee Juggurnauth

Pauline and her son Robert are looking for a holiday home along the northern Costa Blanca that the whole family can enjoy. Working with a budget of £225,000, Lee Juggurnauth has five great properties to show them, but will any of them impress?

About the area

The northern stretch of the Costa Blanca is really easy to reach, as it’s just a short drive from Alicante Airport, one of southern Spain’s busiest airports, with flights taking around two and a half hours from several UK airports.

Described as one of the healthiest places to live in the world, the area is also home to stunning white sandy beaches, as you’d expect from its name, Costa Blanca, meaning ‘White Coast’. It’s extremely popular with expats and holiday homeowners from across Europe looking to enjoy the Mediterranean way of life.
