You may find this interesting. Moratalla made international headlines a few years ago during la crisis when the town was declared bankrupt.

We live to the southeast of Moratalla and have only visited once so do not know much about the town except it is very pretty and the countryside around there is spectacular. It is higher than we are and gets snow most winters. There are some British up there, I don't know how many, it is essentially a very Spanish town.
Nearest beaches to us are Los Narejos at the northern end of Los Alcazares or Aguilas further south. Both are lovely places with good road networks from here. They would be the closest beaches from Moratalla too.
Cehegin has a municipal swimming pool, I have no idea of facilities in Moratalla. Sorry I cannot be more help, perhaps nobody from Moratalla reads this forum!
