Overview of your Alicante tour

Celebrate Winter/Christmas in Alicante — a jewel of the Mediterranean, renowned for its joyful spirit. Named Spain’s Capital of Gastronomy 2025 for its unique culinary identity, combining high-quality local produce with a vibrant tradition of rice dishes and fresh Mediterranean ingredients. The historic markets, deep-rooted food culture, and the professionalism of its hospitality sector also played a key role. Join me for a seasonal tapas crusade or paella experience — if that’s your challenge! Choose between a live show-cooking or a hands-on session to prepare your own paella or tapas. After a short walk to build up an appetite, we’ll visit the Central Market to pick fresh ingredients or have a bite — maybe local appetizers like almonds or olives — enjoy wines, sangria, or vermouth, and dive into Mediterranean cooking. As we stroll through plazas and festive streets, you’ll learn about our food, traditions, and easygoing lifestyle. A perfect day to taste, learn, and celebrate Alacant.
