Teulada with its about 11000 habitants lies in between Calpe and Denia to the north of Alicante. The little town has been known in the past for its wine production and wine fields around. Beginning with the tourism, Teulada started to skip its face and is now together with its little neighbor town Moraira, a well known place for tourists and residents from all over the world. Tourist attractions in Teulada A leisurely walk down the narrow streets will take you to the Plaza de la Constitucion ( Constitution Square ) where you can see the modern Town Hall which was inaugurated in 1991. From there, following Canonge Valles Street, you get to the Plaza de la Creu (Cross Square) where you are taken back in time with the “ Sea Doorway”, an old door which was part of the wall which enclosed this town in medieval times. Continuing down Dalt Street, you reach The Church Square, which for almost any and all villages, towns and cities even nowadays, is the centre and most valued property for all locals. Here, you can see the Saint Catherine Church, a Renaissance temple-fortress construction from the 16th century ( it was a hiding place for the townspeople when the pirates attacked) and the Hermitage of the Divine Shepherd.

The Bodega Cooperativa San Vicente Ferrer near the church is where you can taste and buy the famous Spanish Muscatel- unique in all Spain. Some other goods to look for could be the wicker furniture or objects, handbags and wrought iron articles and raisins.

There you will find the Castle of Moraira, a tower formally used to defend the coast town. Today Teulada is with it's excellent weather is despite many summer tourists from Spain and Europe, still a place with some sort of traditional flair. Not as crowded as many other towns around the Costa Blanca, Teulada has maintained some of its small town style. Graphic sourced with thanks from Info-teulada-moraira.com
