Caves and nougat around Alicante in a private tour led by a professional guide.
Overview
The surroundings of the city of Alicante, the region of l'Alacantí, is a semi arid area at the foot of the mountains that limit this territory. Agriculture in the past and residential tourism today have modified the area, mixing the old and the modern in a unique location. The Canalobre caves are a natural treasure hidden in the heart of the mountain. Not far away, leaving the watchtowers of Xixona and Busot behind, we will find an essential product in our Christmas celebration, the Nougat.

Hands down, this was probably the best private tour I have ever been on! Ivan is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! I learnt so much about Alicante and some history from Ivan. The Turron (nougat) museum was pretty interesting and I'm glad I did this tour because I probably would have never visited this museum and understood how Turron is different from Nougat (and actually better!). The caves were just amazing! Looking at the mountains, you wouldn't really think that there were these amazing caves. We also visited Buscot and walked up to the remains of the castle. There were stunning views from the top and Ivan explained the history behind the castles and how they were positioned and built. I really enjoyed this tour and I would probably visit Alicante again just to do more tours with Ivan. It was actually my birthday on the day that we did this tour and this tour made it so much more enjoyable! So thank you Ivan for an amazing birthday!Granit_Z
