Alicante is the birthplace of many culinary delights.
The most well-known dishes of Alicante are the exquisite rice-based preparations (such as Paella alicantina, Arroz a la Banda and Arroz con costar). They contain various types of fish, meat (including chicken, pork and rabbit), vegetables, and pulses. Many of the recipes are part of Alicante tradition. Rice dishes are not the only food items which are available in Alicante. Fish and other seafood dishes (e.g. Arroz Negro, Esmorçaret alacantí, Mojama) are extremely tasty and also good for health. The Red Prawns from Denia are simply mind-blowing.
Various types of highly palatable stews are available in the more mountainous areas, such as Alcoy.
Salted meats, fresh vegetables, citrus fruit
Other things to look out for are salted meats, fresh vegetables, many different types of fruits (loquats, cherries, pomegranates and dates to name a few), olive oil, and last buy not least, exotic spices.
Exquisite cakes and pastries are also available in Alicante. This includes the likes of Christmas sweets such as turron, and various desserts made from almonds, chocolates, and heavenly ice creams.
Alicante also produces many different types of locally produced red and white wine. Particularly unique among them is a type of wine called fondillón, which can rarely be found anywhere else in the world. There is another special type of wine called horchata de chufas, which is sweet and very much refreshing. It is made from mashed tiger nuts.
