Gastronomie

The choice and quality of the cuisine in the area will be one of the most enjoyable memories of your holiday. From paella or black rice coloured from the ink of the squid, to Arroz de¡ Señoret (local paella made with filleted fish and shellfish) or Arroz Abanda (rice in a fish sauce), these dishes are just a small example of the wide range of traditional fare of the Marina Alta.

The Mediterranean diet is equally balanced between produce from the sea, the surrounding hills and the fields. Apart from rice based dishes, you can sample a huge variety of recipes using local fish, shellfish, meat and game. For something sweet to conclude your meal, you are spoilt for choice with the range of deserts using locally grown foodstuffs such as almonds and raisins.

There are more than 100 national and international venues to choose from in the area, ranging from simple tapas bars through to international Michelin starred restaurants.
So:que aproveche as they say in Spain - we hope you enjoy your meal!
