There’s no better way to get to know Alicante than through its food and its streets. And in 2025, as the city celebrates its recognition as Spain’s Capital of Gastronomy, this is the perfect time to dive into its flavours and stories.Â
Our Central Market & Old Town Tour is a walking experience designed for travellers who love to eat, laugh, and learn. In just a few hours, you’ll taste the city’s most iconic products, explore its lively market, and stroll through the heart of Alicante’s old town with a local guide who knows its secrets.Â
We’ll start where Alicante comes alive every day: the Central Market. Built in the early 20th century and full of colour, it’s a feast for the senses. Stalls are piled high with fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood, sausages, cheeses, almonds and dates. This is where locals shop, meet, and share their stories.Â
Along the way, you’ll enjoy 10 different tastings of local bites — from cured sausages and tuna to cheeses, almonds and seasonal fruits. Each taste is more than food; it’s a piece of Alicante’s history and landscape on your plate.Â
After the market, we’ll walk into the old town. Here, narrow streets and lively plazas show you another side of the city. Your guide will share the stories that shaped Alicante — tales of trade, tradition, and the Mediterranean way of life.Â
Between bites and sips, you’ll also enjoy three glasses of local wine, beer or non-alcoholic drinks, discovering why Alicante’s wines are gaining international recognition.Â
Because in just one morning, you’ll experience Alicante as locals do: shopping at the market, tasting what’s in season, and walking through streets that blend history with everyday life.Â
It’s not a generic city tour. It’s an authentic introduction to Alicante’s heart — its food, its people, and its traditions. And it’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave.Â
