Things to see in Teulada
The market in Teulada is every Wednesday morning where you can buy your fruits and vegetables, handbags, honey, local crafts and souvenirs to take back home. Teulada does not have any beaches because it is set inland off the coast but if you are using Teulada as a base for your vacation or holiday then the beach resort of Moraira is just 4km away with very good beaches.
The town council of Teulada has passed laws in the past to limit the height of tall buildings unlike the skylines of Benidorm and Calpe, to protect the pine trees covering the valleys all the way to Moraira. Agriculture is still of great importance to Teulada as the terraced slopes are dominated by olives, almonds, grapes, lemons and oranges but nowadays tourism and construction form the backbone of the local economy.
Teulada is still very Spanish with its heritage and traditions although many Dutch, German and English people have made Teulada their new home. Teulada is also known for its firework displays, one of the best on the coast.
Airports near to Teulada
Alicante is the best-placed airport for travel abroad, and like any major city, offers a variety of destinations and price points for the budget conscious. The working day is often seasonal, with later opening hours over the summer months, and many businesses still close during traditional siesta hours.
Alicante Airport (IATA: ALC, ICAO: LEAL), also known as Alicante-Elche Airport, is currently the fifth largest airport in Spain and is the gateway to the Costa Blanca resort region, serving both the Valencia Community and the Region of Murcia.

Corvera Murcia Airport is a new Airport in Murcia. Several airlines are flying in and out of Corvera Murcia Airport, covering an increasing number of flight routes. Corvera replaces Murcia San Javier Airport (for civilian flights) and is also run by AENA (the official airport authority). It has significant scope to handle many more additional routes.

It is the main base of Iberia’s regional carrier Air Nostrum. Irish low-cost airline Ryanair used the airport as a hub since 2007 but decided to close it in November 2008 following a dispute over subsidies by the airport authorities. Since then the airline has continued to operate out of Valencia but as a relatively large destination airport, and not a base.
