Walking routes such as the Ruta Vicentina and the Barranc de la Xurra trail, the Mirador de les Sorts viewpoint and the coastal wetland of the Senillar are all close by.

Culture & festivals

History, culture and fiestas

Teulada's fortified church of Santa Caterina was built to protect the population against pirate raids, and the elegant Sala de Jurats i Justícies was the town's historic courthouse. The modern Teulada-Moraira auditorium, surrounded by vineyards, hosts concerts and theatre all year round.

The main festivities in honour of Sant Vicent Ferrer are celebrated in the week after Easter, and Sant Antoni and the Nit de Sant Joan are also highlights of the calendar.
