This commercial property in La Murada, a village within the municipality of Orihuela in Alicante province, combines a fully operational restaurant with a partially constructed guesthouse, storage premises and a separate residence. The main building offers 700 m² with indoor seating for 150 guests and a terrace for 80. Built in 1970 and in good condition, the complex is offered as a fixed asking price of €999,900 for the complete package. The vendor is selling due to retirement. Distances are straight-line: Murcia and Elche both lie 25 km away, Alicante city 46 km and Alicante-Elche Airport approximately 39 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Murada is an inland village of roughly 3,300 residents in the Orihuela municipality, 56 m above sea level. Murcia and Elche are each 25 km away as the crow flies, while Alicante city lies 46 km distant. Train stations at Orihuela Miguel Hernández and Callosa de Segura are 7.2 to 7.9 km away, and Alicante-Elche Airport approximately 39 km. A car is practically necessary here.
The property functions as a hospitality business with living space included. The residence opposite contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living-dining room, gallery and terrace. Above the restaurant sits an unfinished 157 m² guesthouse floor awaiting completion. Buyers should view this as a working enterprise requiring active management rather than a passive residence.
This is not a new-build project. The main building dates from 1970 and is in good condition, with the restaurant fully operational. The guesthouse floor of 157 m² is partially constructed and unfinished, meaning further building works and licensing would be required. Delivery dates for any completion work remain indicative and depend on the buyer's own planning.
The property does not offer coastal proximity, a swimming pool, a garden or communal resort facilities. Amenities within 2 km are limited to one pharmacy and one café. Public transport consists of two bus lines only. The guesthouse remains incomplete and requires investment before it can generate income. No cadastral or energy certification details are published here.

This property suits a buyer with hospitality experience who wants an established, cash-generating business rather than a holiday home. Recognisable situations include a restaurateur approaching retirement in northern Europe seeking a smaller-scale operation with accommodation upside; a family wanting to combine a business with a residence on one site; or an investor aiming to complete the guesthouse and run an integrated food-and-lodging model. The configuration also works for a buyer primarily interested in the €800,000 restaurant option who wants to add the warehouse and residence later. It does not suit buyers seeking coastal living, rental-free holidays or a low-maintenance second home: this is an enterprise requiring daily presence and management. Language matters here, the clientele is local and Spanish-speaking, so operational viability depends on communicating with staff, suppliers and municipal offices. A car is essential; the nearest train stations are 7.2 to 7.9 km away and the airport approximately 39 km. Buyers should also factor in the cost and permitting of finishing the guesthouse before any accommodation income can begin.
The main building dates from 1970 and is presented in good condition, with the restaurant fully equipped and operational. The kitchen inventory is extensive and specific: two gas ranges with eight burners each, a wood-fired grill measuring five by two metres, a specialised exhaust hood with sprinkler system and integrated fire alarm, two ovens, five microwaves, three deep fryers, two dishwashers, two warewashers, a coffee machine and a juicer, plus a complete set of roughly 300 pieces of kitchenware and tableware. Cold storage capacity is considerable, eight freezer units, twelve refrigerated units, seven chest freezers, three general refrigerators, three dessert refrigeration units and a wine storage unit with display cellar. The dining area holds three televisions, a sound system and a POS terminal. Climate control consists of two air-conditioning units and three smoke extractors, with an automatic awning over the terrace. Security is above village norms: bullet-resistant glass, automatic security shutters, two interior alarms and a perimeter alarm. The residence is described as fully finished, while the guesthouse floor remains at brick-shell stage with bare walls, visible in the photo material, buyers should budget for full fit-out there. The warehouse opposite is equipped with refrigeration units and two regulation-compliant restrooms. Garage parking and a storage room are included.
The asking price is fixed at €999,900 for the complete package: restaurant, unfinished guesthouse, refrigerated warehouse and residence. The sales dossier also sets out a basic option at €800,000 covering only the restaurant with the unfinished guesthouse floor. The reason for sale is the owner's retirement. The property is key-ready in the sense that the restaurant and residence are operational, while the guesthouse requires completion work whose cost the buyer must assess independently. Furniture, kitchen equipment and tableware are included.
This is a working village restaurant with attached development potential, situated on the commercial spine of La Murada. The dining operation runs year-round with a kitchen built around grilled meats: a five-by-two-metre wood-fired grill, two gas ranges with eight burners each, two ovens, three deep fryers and a full battery of refrigeration, including eight freezer units, twelve refrigerated units and a wine display cellar. Indoor capacity is 150 covers across 28 tables, with a further 80 covers on the terrace. The village calendar matters commercially: the patron saint festivals, mid-year celebrations and the Sunday market generate recurring peaks of visitors, which is why the business draws a loyal local clientele. Above the restaurant lies 157 m² of shell space intended as a guesthouse; completing it would add accommodation income to the food operation. The €999,900 package also includes a 157 m² warehouse opposite, fitted with refrigeration and two compliant restrooms, and a finished 157 m² residence with three bedrooms and two bathrooms above it. Security provision is substantial: bullet-resistant glass, automatic shutters, two interior alarms and a perimeter alarm. For an operator, the daily rhythm is that of a village hospitality business, early provisioning runs to Orihuela or the surrounding towns, service from midday, and evening trade driven by events and weekend custom.
La Murada sits inland in the Orihuela municipality at 56 m elevation, surrounded by agricultural lowland rather than coastal development. Daily life is quiet and village-scaled: the population of roughly 3,300 supports a pharmacy and a café within 2 km, while broader shopping, healthcare and services require trips to Orihuela, Elche or Murcia, each reachable within a modest drive given the 25 km straight-line distance to Elche and Murcia. Two public transport lines serve the village, but for practical purposes a car is necessary, for school runs if children live in the residence, for provisioning the restaurant, and for airport journeys of roughly 39 km straight-line to Alicante-Elche. Rail access exists via Orihuela Miguel Hernández station at 7.2 km, with alternatives at Callosa de Segura-Cox (7.6 km) and Callosa de Segura (7.9 km). The village rhythm is defined by its calendar: 32 local public holidays per year, the Sunday market that draws crowds from surrounding hamlets, and the patron saint festivals that fill the restaurant's events schedule. An EV charging point sits 7.2 km away at the Endesa X facility. The average annual temperature of 18.9°C makes year-round operation comfortable.
The map shows La Murada in relation to the wider region: Murcia and Elche are both 25 km away as the crow flies, Alicante 46 km, and the airport approximately 39 km. The village's inland position between the coastal strip and the Murcia farmland explains both its quiet character and its dependence on road access.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Murada occupies an inland position in the north of the Orihuela municipality, on the agricultural plain between the Segura river towns and the coastal belt of the southern Costa Blanca. It is not part of the tourist corridor: Torrevieja, the Orihuela Costa and the golf developments all lie to the east, while Murcia city borders the area to the west. This places the property in the working hinterland of the Costa Blanca, where property operates on local economics rather than international holiday demand, a different market logic from the coastal new-build apartment stock of Torrevieja or Urbanización El Raso.
As the crow flies, Murcia (population about 463,000) and Elche (about 235,000) both lie 25 km from La Murada, giving access to two substantial urban economies for supplies, staff recruitment and services. Alicante city is 46 km away. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 39 km straight-line, the road journey will be longer, and Valencia Airport 156 km. Train connections run from Orihuela Miguel Hernández station, 7.2 km away, with two further stations within 8 km. Within the village itself, amenities are basic: one pharmacy and one café within 2 km, two bus lines, and an EV charger at 7.2 km. The beach is not within the immediate data set; this is an inland location, and coastal trips require onward travel. For the business, this means deliveries and customer flows are regional rather than tourist-based, with the Sunday market and festival calendar providing the main visitor surges.

La Murada records an average annual temperature of 18.9°C, consistent with the mild inland Vega Baja climate, warmer summers than the coast but with low humidity relative to the shoreline. The swimming season is approximately six months, based on water temperatures at or above 20°C at nearby coastal stretches. The village sits at 56 m elevation on essentially flat terrain, so no significant slopes affect access, deliveries or walking within the settlement. Rainfall is Mediterranean in pattern, concentrated in autumn and spring, with long dry summers. For daily operations this climate means high cooling demand in July and August, relevant given the two air-conditioning units and terrace awning, and mild winters where the wood-fired grill and kitchen heat offset most heating needs. The flat surrounding countryside suits cycling and walking along agricultural tracks, though notable natural parks or mountain scenery do not feature in the immediate data.

This is an inland location, so beaches are a destination rather than a backdrop; the nearest coastal resorts of the Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja lie beyond the villages to the east, requiring a drive given the absence of any beach within the published data set. The six-month swimming season applies to those coastal waters. Recreation in La Murada itself is village-based: the Sunday market, the annual patron saint festivals and mid-year celebrations structure the social calendar and, commercially, the restaurant's busiest days. The 32 local public holidays per year mean frequent event-driven trade. Golf courses are not listed in the vicinity, the nearest major golf provision sits on the Orihuela Costa and in the Murcia region, both roughly 25 km or more away. An EV charging point at Endesa X, 7.2 km distant, supports regional excursions. For the resident, weekends typically combine village life with trips towards the coast or the cities of Elche and Murcia.

Within the wider Costa Blanca South portfolio, this property is an outlier. The comparable projects listed, Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Sun & Center in Torrevieja (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000), are coastal new-build apartment developments sold on a per-unit basis to international buyers seeking holiday or rental properties. This La Murada listing is instead a single operational commercial asset priced at €999,900, whose value rests on business performance rather than views or resort amenities. The two market segments behave differently. Coastal apartments in Torrevieja and El Raso track tourist demand, seasonal rental yields and international buyer sentiment; a village restaurant tracks local spending power, event calendars and the operator's own management. Where an apartment buyer in El Raso budgets community fees and rental management, a buyer here budgets kitchen maintenance, staffing and the completion cost of the 157 m² guesthouse floor. Geographically the difference is equally clear: El Raso and Torrevieja sit minutes from Blue Flag beaches, while La Murada lies inland on the Orihuela agricultural plain, 25 km as the crow flies from both Murcia and Elche. That distance brings lower property costs per square metre on the coast's fringe and a genuinely Spanish village environment, the Sunday market and patron saint festivals remain the commercial engine here, but it removes the holiday-let market entirely. A buyer choosing between this and a coastal apartment is effectively choosing between running a business in a working community and owning a leisure property in a tourist corridor. The two options can both make financial sense; they simply answer different questions. The €800,000 basic option narrows the gap somewhat for buyers who want the hospitality asset without the additional warehouse and residence.
