Wine routes around Moraira: a tasting adventure
The evening sun sinks slowly behind the hills as I take the first sip from a glass of ripe monastrell. The light breeze of the Mediterranean strokes my face and the air is steeped in the smell of rosemary and lavender. Moraira, a hidden gem on the Costa Blanca, offers a unique chance to explore the local wines and to enjoy the fine flavours this region has to offer.

On arrival in small villages such as Jalón and Lliber you are welcomed by rows of vines that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Wine tasting on the Costa Blanca
Besides the fine wines, the Costa Blanca also offers beautiful views and authentic places to eat. The bodegas receive visitors at set times and booking is compulsory, above all in high season. Try the local speciality “mistela”, a sweet muscat wine that goes perfectly with traditional Spanish tapas. 📍 See Bodegas Xaló on Google Maps.
