Jaime, Cap Blanc, Moravit Pla del Mar, Partida el
Port, Arnella Pinar de l'Advocat,
Alcasar, Paichi, Sabatera
Pinar
de l'Avocat is a sunny south facing urbanization situated on a hillside beside a
wide vineyard that leads down to Moraira town. It has easy access along the Cami de
Camarrocha to Moraira beach and the the coast road, or alternatively you can take the
Sabatera exit towards Teulada, Benitachell and Javea. The thick pinewoods are typical of
Moraira and the town hall protects the trees on private and public land. enlarge |

Partida
Alcasar is the last urbanization in Moraira-Teulada before you reach Benitachell
and comprises bungalows and villas with views over the coast and Benissa mountains. The
photo shows the Alcasar bungalows and a typical Valencia, Calpe, Alicante, Altean dry stone wall. These walls use
locally quarried stone that is expertly chipped by hand by specialized masons to give the
smooth appearance that you see. These walls drain very well and a good quality one can
last for centuries. enlarge |

Partida
Paichi adjoins Arnella and Alcasar on the right side of the Teulada-Benitachell
road and has the same aspect looking over the Teulada and Benissa valleys that you can see
in the photo. The roads here are all named after famous painters and they wind down
steeply among palms and cactuses from the Cap d'Or hilltop. Paichi has it's own popular
shopping centre with a supermarket and general shops. You will often find place names in
Moraira now spelled in the Valencia, Calpe, Alicante, Altean way so maps and signs will often say Paitxi instead
of Paichi. enlarge |
|
Partida Sabatera is on the other side of the Moraira-Teulada
road and you can see the access road here crossing the vineyard. The Sabatera
hilltop faces both Moraira and Calpe and the urbanization is one of the original ones in
Moraira with it's own commercial centre. If you take the left turn where the road starts
to rise you have a shortcut to Moraira beach avoiding the traffic. enlarge |

Sabatera
villas have for the most part been renovated, often with new gres flooring and modern
kitchens and bathrooms but most still retain their wood burning chimneys. Modern casette
style cast iron fires fit nicely in the original chimney-breasts and combined with
automatic fans give a very satisfactory and economical fire. Firewood is available by the
van load and is usually the slower burning orange, olive and algorobo wood. enlarge |

The photo shows Sol Park Tennis Club situated in Sabatera at
the turning to Teulada. It also has football and a bar and is opposite the Sol Park
commercial centre, 5 minutes from Moraira. enlarge |
