The oldest inhabited place of the township of Teulada dates back to Palaeolithic times and was located at the Cave of "la Cendra".This cave was inhabited until Calcolithic times (2.800-200 b. C). From Iberian times, still some archaelogical sites remain such as the Morro Castellar and the Punta del Cap d'Or, as well as another one from Roman times, which survived until the beginning of the 7 th century. Under Arab occupation, there were only some scattered inhabited places. In 1244,Teulada was conquered by the troops of Jaime 1 and was handed in by this monarch to the Lord of Rebolledo belonging later on, to Admiral Roger de Lauria from Aragon and to the Duke of Gandia. In 1386, the municipality of Teulada was legally created.

MORAIRA

At the end of the 18th century, when Teulada was a farming village, crops were transported by sea, embarking from the naturalports. As time went by, locals started to settle down near their working places, dedicating themselves to fishing. Those small houses where the tackle used to be kept, started to be enlarged until they were converted into real fishing houses, at the same time that this activity was gaining importance. This way how the foundations of what was to be known as an important tourist resort, called today Moraira, were laid.
