Alicante’s drinking tours blend Spanish tradition with modern experiences.
The Central Market food and drink tour stands out as the most authentic option, offering direct contact with locals and genuine tapas-and-wine pairings.
The beer spa experience, while touristy, provides a unique way to unwind – the beer-based treatments actually work wonders for relaxation.
Most impressive is the craft beer tour at Santa Barbara Castle, combining history with artisanal brews and spectacular views of the Mediterranean.
I found the local pub crawls surprisingly well-organized, with guides who know the hidden gems away from the main tourist strips.
These evening tours include enough drinks to be worthwhile but maintain a cultural focus.
