Description

Sweet Tradition and Underground Wonders: Turrón, Caves, and Culture in Alicante Discover the most authentic flavors and best-kept secrets of the province of Alicante on a tour that combines gastronomy, nature, and culture. A complete experience that will take you from the cradle of artisanal turrón to the bowels of the earth, culminating in a musical journey through world cultures. We'll kick off our tour at the El Artesano Turrón Factory in Jijona, the heart of the Spanish turrón tradition. With a local guide, you'll learn about the history of this family business, founded over half a century ago, a symbol of quality and authenticity. We'll step into the facilities where the famous Jijona and Alicante turrón is crafted, uncovering the artisanal process that keeps an ancient recipe alive: selecting the almonds, roasting them, grinding them, blending them with pure honey, and finally, shaping them. During the guided tasting, you'll try different varieties of turrón — soft, hard, chocolate, and gourmet specialties — while learning to distinguish their aromas, textures, and nuances. A delicious sensory experience that'll awaken all your senses. After this journey through traditional flavors, we'll head to Busot, a charming mountain village where you'll find the impressive Canelobre Caves. There, you'll descend over 70 meters underground to admire a natural spectacle of stalactites and stalagmites that form one of the highest and most spectacular cavities in Spain. Its main vault, over 45 meters high, is reminiscent of a cathedral's interior, and its artistic lighting creates a magical atmosphere that takes your breath away. After the caves, we'll wrap up the day with a visit to the Busot Ethnic Music Museum, a unique cultural gem in Europe. Inside, you'll journey through the history of music with a fascinating collection of traditional instruments from all over the world. From African drums to Andean flutes, you'll discover how rhythm and sound have connected civilizations throughout time.
