What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Alicante's old town and begin a walking exploration of the neighbourhood's historic streets. The route weaves through the city's character before arriving at the Central Market, where you'll sample bites and sip drinks as the guide shares context about each item—its origins, how locals use it, what makes it distinctive. The tour doesn't hurry you through tastings; the pace allows genuine conversation and browsing. You'll finish at the market itself with time to explore independently and pick up products if you wish.

Good to know
This suits anyone who eats to understand a place, not just to tick boxes. It's relaxed enough for families with prams and accessible for wheelchair users. Wear comfortable walking shoes—the route covers historic streets and isn't flat everywhere. You're walking for 2.5 hours total with stops, so bring water if you're sensitive to heat or thirst. The tour includes food and drink but not private transport; use nearby public transport or walk from your accommodation. Three drinks and ten bites should settle your appetite but aren't a full meal. Confirm any dietary needs (vegetarian, allergies, alcohol-free) when booking.
