Why People Choose Murla
Life in Murla revolves around traditional Spanish village rhythms, with locals gathering in the central plaza and small bars that form the social hub of the community. The expatriate community, while present, remains relatively small and integrated, creating a genuine multicultural environment rather than an enclave. Daily life moves at a relaxed pace, with afternoon siestas still observed and evening paseos (walks) a common tradition. Residents enjoy a strong sense of community, with regular local festivities, weekly markets, and seasonal celebrations that bring the village together.
The atmosphere in Murla is decidedly authentic and unpretentious. Unlike more developed Costa Blanca resorts, the village maintains its Spanish character with family-owned shops, traditional bars, and local restaurants serving regional cuisine. The expat community tends to be mature, established residents who have chosen Murla for its authenticity rather than developers seeking tourist development. This creates a welcoming but genuine environment where newcomers are encouraged to integrate into village life. The proximity to nature, with hiking trails and rural surroundings, combined with access to larger towns' amenities within short drives, creates an appealing balance for those seeking a quieter lifestyle without complete isolation.
Murla enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate characterized by warm, dry summers and mild winters. Average summer temperatures range from 28-32°C (82-90°F), while winter months typically see temperatures between 10-15°C (50-59°F). The village benefits from approximately 300 days of sunshine annually, making it an ideal destination year-round. Rainfall is minimal, concentrated primarily in autumn and spring, with dry summers allowing for outdoor living and activities. The elevated position of Murla provides slightly cooler temperatures than coastal areas, offering relief during peak summer months while still maintaining the pleasant Mediterranean warmth that characterizes the region.

Столовая
Traditional Spanish cuisine is served in several village bars and restaurants, offering authentic regional dishes and Mediterranean flavors. Local establishments typically feature home-cooked meals, gazpacho, paella, fresh seafood, and seasonal specialties. The village maintains an authentic dining experience with family-run establishments rather than tourist-focused chains. For greater dining variety, Alcoy offers numerous restaurants with international cuisines, while Benidorm provides every conceivable dining option from fine dining to casual beachfront establishments.
Здравоохранение
Primary healthcare is available through the local medical center in Murla, with consultations available for residents. For specialized medical care and hospital facilities, patients typically travel to nearby Alcoy (approximately 15 km away), which has a well-equipped public hospital and private clinics. The larger cities of Benidorm (40 km) and Alicante (80 km) offer comprehensive medical facilities and specialist services. Spain's public healthcare system is of high quality, and residents are covered through the Spanish National Health System (SNS).
Транспорт
Alicante-Elche Airport (approximately 80 km) is the primary international airport, serving the Costa Blanca region with direct flights to major European cities. Journey time is approximately 1 hour by car. Valencia Airport (approximately 120 km) provides an alternative with slightly longer travel time but sometimes competitive flight options. Both airports offer car rental facilities and are well-connected to Murla via regional highways. Murla is accessible via the well-maintained N332 highway, which connects to the AP-7 motorway providing routes to Alicante, Valencia, and beyond. The village sits inland from the coastal AP-7, with regional roads (CV-740, CV-70) providing direct access. Driving throughout the region is straightforward with good road conditions. Travel times: Alcoy (15 minutes), Benidorm (45 minutes), Javea beaches (30 minutes), Alicante city center (1.5 hours). The car is essential for daily life, though main coastal areas and larger towns are within reasonable driving distances. Public transport options are limited compared to larger urban areas, reflecting Murla's rural character. Regional buses connect Murla to nearby Alcoy and larger towns several times daily, operated by local bus companies. For more frequent and extensive public transport, larger towns like Alcoy and Benidorm offer comprehensive bus networks. The region's public transport is affordable but less frequent than metropolitan areas. Many residents find a personal vehicle essential for daily convenience, though buses provide connectivity for occasional longer journeys.
Покупки
Murla village center contains small traditional shops including a local supermarket, pharmacy, bakery, and butcher serving daily needs. The weekly market brings fresh produce and goods to the village. For more extensive shopping, the nearby town of Alcoy (15 km) offers a full range of supermarkets, shops, and commercial centers. Benidorm (40 km) provides large shopping centers and hypermarkets for major purchases. Many residents also shop online for convenience, with delivery services readily available throughout the region.
