Embark on a delicious journey along the Costa Blanca that perfectly combines sweet indulgence with artistic beauty. This sightseeing tour is a captivating tale of two towns, offering a unique contrast between the vibrant, sun-drenched colours of a traditional fishing village and the serene elegance of a bohemian sanctuary.
Our adventure begins in the seaside town of Villajoyosa, famous for its deep-rooted chocolate-making tradition. We'll start with a delightful visit and chocolate tasting at Chocolates Pérez, an essential experience for any visitor. Here, you'll learn about the town's famous legacy as a chocolate-making centre, a tradition that dates back to the time of its seafaring merchants. Your visit includes a guided chocolate tasting where you can savour the rich flavours and aromas that have made Chocolates Pérez a renowned brand, trying different varieties and learning to appreciate the craftsmanship behind each piece. As we explore the town, you'll be captivated by its vibrant, multicoloured houses and discover the history of the spectacular annual Moors and Christians festival, a tradition deeply rooted in the local culture.
We'll then head to Altea, widely considered the “artists' village” of the Costa Blanca. With origins in the Moorish and medieval eras, the town's unique beauty and special light began to attract artists and intellectuals in the 20th century, giving it the distinctive bohemian atmosphere it has today. We'll stroll through its picturesque cobblestone streets, lined with charming craft shops, art galleries, and whitewashed houses that contrast beautifully with the bright blue Mediterranean sky. The iconic blue-tiled dome of the Church of Our Lady of Consolation is an impressive focal point, while the incredible panoramic views of the sea from its many vantage points offer perfect opportunities for photos and moments of tranquility.
This sightseeing tour is a celebration of both rich flavours and visual delights, designed for those who appreciate fine chocolate, authentic Spanish traditions, and timeless Mediterranean beauty.
