See the D.O. Valencia →Alicante's wine tourism is concentrated inland, in the Marina Alta district and the Vinalopó. Pinoso, Monóvar and the Vall de Laguar gather country houses among monastrell vines, while the coast of Dénia, Xàbia or Altea provides charming hotels for those who want both sea and winery.
To set up a base inland, the villages of the Marina Alta such as Jalón (Xaló), with its valley of almond trees and vineyards, or the Villena area in the Alto Vinalopó work well. From there, tastings of fondillón and monastrell are just a step away.
Alicante is a land of rice dishes: arroz a banda, arroz del senyoret and the classic Elche rice with a crust. The red prawns of Dénia, the salted fish and the fish fresh from the market call for a crisp white or a rosé; the game and inland stews, a full-bodied monastrell from the Vinalopó.
Sweets rule with the turrones of Jijona and Alicante, the sugared almonds and artisan ice cream. For dessert, fondillón reigns, a historic aged wine of the D.O. Alicante, along with the sweet mistela of the Marina, heir to centuries of trade.
Beyond wine, Alicante offers the beaches and coves of the Marina, the Peñón de Ifach in Calpe and the routes of the Guadalest valley with its turquoise reservoir. Inland, the Snow Well of Xixona and the springs of the Algar refresh summer days.
Hiking lovers have the Serra de Bèrnia and the Font Roja near Alcoi. In Villena, the Atalaya castle and the Treasure await, while the wine route links Pinoso and Monóvar among almond blossom and wineries.
Alicante's culture blends sea and frontier. The Castle of Santa Bárbara dominates the capital, and the MARQ, the award-winning Archaeological Museum, brings together Iberian and Roman pieces. In Elche, the Palm Grove, a World Heritage Site, and the Misteri, a sacred-lyrical drama, are unique in the Mediterranean.
Villena guards the Treasure, one of the most important Bronze Age goldwork collections in Europe. The Bonfires of Saint John, the Moors and Christians festivals and the tradition of turrón and fortified wine complete a living heritage.
The Alicante coast concentrates campsites beside the sea in El Campello, Guardamar del Segura and the pine woods of the Marina. The Santa Pola Salt Flats Natural Park and the Font Roja, above Alcoi, offer nature for motorhomes and camping near the inland vines.
The Guadalest valley, the Serra de Bèrnia and the springs of the Algar in Callosa provide cool spots to escape the heat. Travelling by motorhome through the Vinalopó lets you sleep among almond trees and monastrell vines, with Villena and Pinoso as reference points.
