Almoradi in sunny Costa Blanca
Almoradi is situated in the center of the Low, equidistant Fertile valley
of Orihuela and Guardamar towns that lie in the Fertile valley
and near to the Segura River. Almoradi is just twenty minutes
from the coast and has a wealth of shops and facilities. Set in
a valley famed for it's orange and lemon groves yet only five
minutes drive from the motorway.
After the 1829 earthquake, Almoradi was obliged to construct
safer buildings and to plan the town with a view to minimizing
the effects of any future natural disasters. There are several
interesting architectural features in the village such as the
Casino, the Church of San Andrés - with a Christ similar
to the one presiding over Río de Janeiro - and the Ayuntamiento.
Also of note is the Cortés Theatre, which puts on plays
of national standing and is one of only two permanent theatres
in the Vega Baja. The village is located near to the Segura River
and enjoys rich farmland where artichokes are grown. A water tribunal
presides over disputes between owners and imposes fines in Vellón
reals (old Spanish coins).
