Teulada
The little town of Teulada was once well renowned for the cultivation of the Muscatel grape which was used mainly to produce wine. The hillsides around the town were terraced by the occupying Moors who also put in the intricate irrigation systems. Grapes, almonds and citrus fruits are still grown in abundance, although agriculture is no longer the main source of income as tourism has taken its place.
Teulada is the seat of the town hall for the area, but it's coastal region; Moraira just 6 kilometres which is now better known. Teulada-Moraira is one of the most popular destinations for tourists within the Costa Blanca north because of its magnificent beaches and coves.
