Life at Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort allows you to enjoy not only privacy and tranquillity, but close proximity to all the services you need and the best cultural events in the area. Thanks to its exclusive location, Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort is just a few kilometres from cities such as Denia, Altea, and Teulada-Moraira, where there will always be a range of events to tempt you. For example, don’t miss the events scheduled at the Teulada-Moraira auditorium over the coming months.
The auditorium was opened on the 25th March 2011 and is a modern building designed by architect Francisco Mangado Beloqui. Located at the highest point in Teulada, it’s a good place to admire the urban centre of Teulada-Moraira as well as the sea and vineyards.
Since its opening, the auditorium has hosted important events such as ballet performances, musicals, operas, concerts, plays, expositions, and culinary events, as well as others. Don’t miss the programme of events scheduled for this season, which was presented on the 1st October by the President of the Fundación CV Auditori Teulada Moraira and Mayor, Carlos Linares, and the Director, Maite Serrat.
This new season began with a concert by German jazz band The Bourbon Street Stompersel on the 6th October, followed by Mozart’s magnificent The Magic Flute on the 14th October.
The next event, the musical The Phantom of the Opera produced by the Asociación de Amigos de la Música de Alcoy, will be taking place on Saturday 27th October at 7:00pm. Make the most of the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful performance with an orchestra, soloists, choir, and over 90 people on the stage, and immerse yourself in this mythical love story set in 19th-century Paris.
We also invite you to see the Disseny al Plat exposition which the auditorium will be hosting from Wednesday to Saturday until the 31st October. This is a display of craftsmanship, gastronomy, and design, showing the fusion between ceramics and gastronomy.
After discovering jazz and travelling to Italy and the Paris Opera, allow the auditorium to transport you to Japan through the performance of Taiko Hayato on the 3rd November. Don’t miss the chance to experience this energetic and sophisticated percussion show which has impressed audiences in over 25 countries. What’s more, this performance is included in the programme of commemorative events for the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Spain and Japan.
The following day, the 4th November, don’t forget the entertaining theatre production of “5 y… Acción!” which is written and directed by Javier Veiga who also stars in the performance alongside other well-known actors such as Carlos Sobera, Marta Hazas, Ana Rayo, and Ana Cerdeiriña. This comedy about the world of television, cinema, and the desire to succeed will have you roaring with laughter as you escape your daily routine.
Also in November, for the fiestas honouring Saint Cecilia, Teulada offers three concerts organised by the Agrupación Musical Cultural de Teulada (AMCT). On the 10th November, you can attend the Chamber Music Concert with performances from soloists from the AMCT; on the 16th there is the Youth Band Concert; and to bring the fiestas to an end, the traditional Saint Cecilia Concert on the 17th of the month.
The schedule of events continues throughout December, starting on the 1st of the month when the Teulada-Moraira Auditorium will host Trobadores by actresses María Mas and Nydia Crespo. This event is the first of many in December, with other highlights such as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl by the UCAM Symphony Orchestra on the 15th December, which will transport you to the world of captain Jack Sparrow with a carefully designed set framed by a huge pirate ship, fencing and of course, music.
After this concert, give in to the Christmas spirit on the 21st December by attending a wonderful performance of Sleeping Beauty by the Moscow Ballet. Then, to bring the year to an end in style, the Alicante Province Youth Orchestra (OJPA), with the collaboration of the Alicante Provincial Government, invites you to their Christmas concert on the 28th December.

At Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort, the benefits you will enjoy include not just a house with every luxury imaginable and the privilege of being close to nature with views of the sea, but a huge variety of events which seek to bring people together and recover the traditions of the area.
If you love nature and ecological products, get out your calendar and draw a big circle around the third Saturday of every month for the Mercat de la Llorença. Over the next few months, it will be taking place on the 15th September, 20th October, 17th November, and 15th December. It will run from 10am to 2pm and be held in Market Square in Poble Nou de Benitatxell.
This fabulous market, created by the Department of Agriculture of Poble Nou de Benitatxell, aims to offer inhabitants and visitors in the municipality a place where they can buy high quality ecological products such as mountain honey, organic vegetables, and even artisanal beers.
The name of the event, “Mercat de la Llorença”, is not just a reference to the massif where Poble Nou de Benitatxell is found, it is also a female name. In this way, therefore, the market seeks to support farmers and artisans in the area while also paying tribute to the role of rural women. It is for this reason that an image of a woman was chosen to promote the market, and a story was even made up about her. In this story, it is said that a woman named Llorença was born in the massif which shares her name, and that she loved the earth.
