Excursions and Beauty-spots
Teulada-Moraira has various marked routes, which the nearly year-round pleasant weather make inviting to take.
Castellons. The Castellons road can be reached from Calle Calvo Sotelo. As you follow the road you will see the Molí dels Castellons, one of the five windmills that were used in the area many years ago. Continuing onward to the Urbanización Castellons Vida housing estate, the highest point, you will be treated to a spectacular view.
La Font de l´Horta y Benimbarco. Leaving Teulada along the national highway, you take the first right to La Font de l´Horta, where a highly valued fountain with two spouts is located. Continuing along the road, you will reach the Benimarco farmhouse, which belongs to both Benissa and Teulada. A visit to the area offers visitors a glimpse of the ancestral homes and houses commonly used by labourers in the district.
Font Santa. A few metres after leaving Teulada on the highway to Moraira, turn right onto the Camí de les Rotgetes. This peaceful road takes us to the new highway to Moraira, which we will need to cross to get to la Font Santa fountain. The fountain is said to have been the result of a miracle performed by Sant Vicent, who to quench the thirst of his sister Constanza, made water spout where previously there been none. Through drought and torrential rainfall, water always gushes from the fountain, for which people make pilgrimages to it. Beside the fountain is a 19th century chapel, where popular festivities are celebrated during the first week of July.
Benimeit. Leaving Teulada along the Pas road for a pleasant excursion, on foot or by car, you will discover la Marina Alta architecture in los Riu-Rau, where ancestral, perfectly cantilevered terraces, the loveliest in the region, are located. In the past, the vines and almond trees grown on these terraces were the town’s greatest wealth. Continuing along the way to Benigànim, you will want to pause to take in the view. Then turning right into Calle Benigànim, you will come upon another splendid view. Afterwards, taking the Fanadix trail down to the sea, you will arrive at Cala Andragó.
El Cap d’Or. Approximate distance, 1.5 kms. Estimated excursion time, one hour. Starting at the Ermita de San Jaun Bautista chapel, located at one end of the Portet beach and probably built in the mid-twentieth century, follow the Avenida del Portet, turning right into Calle Puerto Lápice and continuing on to Calle Puerto de Alcudia, at the end of which you will need to continue on foot. Green and white markings will direct you to the tower, where your efforts will be rewarded by marvellous panoramic views of the bay of Moraira, el Peñon de Ifach, la sierra Aitana and even the coast of Ibiza on a clear day.
Barranco de la Cala.Approximate distance, 4.1 kms. Estimated excursion time, three and a quarter hours. This route, through some of the loveliest and most enchanting areas in the municipality, will take you to the beach known as La Cala. To get there, go to the Portet area, and take the Camino de la Viuda trail to the top of Calle Canario, where you will see a wooden sign indicating the way. Follow the trail till you come to a fork, marking the halfway point, and turn right. The final stretch across a ravine is a bit rough, and you should proceed with caution. An alternative way is the trail to the left, just before reaching the La Cala beach. This trail is very uneven, but when you reach the top it becomes flat and can be followed with no difficulty to the vicinity of the Playa del Moraig beach, in the municipality of Benitachell.
Recommendations. You should carry water with you and use proper footwear, following the signs and respecting nature by not littering, lighting fires or camping.
