Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at the main stairs of the Central Market for a guided tasting walk of the market interior and nearby historic stalls.
Meet & guided tasting walk at Mercado Central de Alicante (10 stops)
Meet your guide outside the central market main façade. Over the next 2 hours you will visit 10 nearby stalls and small tapas counters inside and immediately outside the market, tasting 16 small specialties (cheeses, cured meats, fish, orchard fruit, sweets) and sampling 4 local wines. The guide introduces each vendor, explains product origins and local traditions, and manages ordering and portions so the group can share.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring photo ID if you plan to sample alcoholic wines (local vendors check ID for legal drinking age).
- Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for short, level walking inside the market aisles and a few nearby sidewalks; the route is stroller-friendly but expect crowds during peak hours.
- Tell your guide about dietary needs on arrival — vegetarian options are available and the guide will coordinate suitable samples.
