This tour provides you with the perfect opportunity to discover two Mediterranean cities located in the heart of the Costa Blanca and a visit to a local winery. Alicante, capital of the Costa Blanca, White Coast, is also known as the Ciudad de la Luz or the City of Light. Arriving in the old quarter, follow your guide on a walking tour. View the 18th century Neo-Baroque town hall, and stop at the Cathedral to take in its external, fortress-like appearance. One of the Cathedral’s most notable features is its Renaissance baroque facade. Travel from Alicante to the city of Novelda to enjoy a visit of a local winery with a short introduction to its history. See the old machinery once used for wine-making and its evolution up until the present day. Here, you’ll also learn about the wine-making process - from the receiving of the grapes, all the way through before being bottled and labeled. From the distance, see perched in the mountain, one its most important historic buildings, the sanctuary of Santa María Magdalena. The building is a Gaudi inspired design and has been likened to the Sagrada Familia. At the end of your guided tour, you’ll be invited to taste one of the wines produced here.
