Teulada Holidays Guide: Weather, Flights and Day Trips
Provincia de Alicante · Valencia · Spain · 14,620 residents · on the coast
Teulada is a coastal municipality in the Provincia de Alicante, in the Valencia region, home to around 14,600 people. Its town centre sits at about 186 metres (roughly 610 feet) above sea level, so you are close to the Mediterranean yet slightly raised above it. For British travellers, the appeal is practical. Three airports with direct flights from the United Kingdom lie within reach, the nearest being Alicante at just over an hour by car. Summers are hot and very dry, winters stay mild, and a string of neighbouring towns, from Moraira and Benitachell to Calp and Denia, sit within a short drive for days out.

If you are travelling in September or October, pack a light waterproof, as these are the wettest months, even though temperatures stay warm.
With the nearest airport around 67 minutes away and day trips spread along the coast, car hire makes getting about far simpler than relying on taxis.
