About this tour
Spend three hours eating your way through Alicante with a local food enthusiast who steers you toward ten carefully chosen tastings. You'll work through savoury bites, sweets, and regional wines whilst passing through the Central Market, Santa Cruz quarter, and Portal de Elche plaza. Your guide unpacks the stories behind each neighbourhood and dish—the Turron de Alicante, the Jamón Ibérico, the whole roster—so you're learning the city's flavour profile, not just consuming it.
Highlights
- Ten guided tastings curated by your local host

What to expect
Your guide meets you and walks you through Alicante's food quarters at a grazing pace. Expect to stop at five or six venues—a market stall, a traditional bar, a charcuterie spot, perhaps a confitería—where you'll taste properly rather than merely sample. Each stop includes explanation of what you're eating and why it matters to the city. You'll cover ground on foot, moving between the market's bustle, the narrow lanes of Santa Cruz, and the small plazas where locals actually sit. Bring hunger and a willingness to stand and chat.
