Definitely a place you can visit, but not a must – and on the expensive side: Restaurant El Portal – Krug Ambassade (14. April 2024)
The El Portal is a bit of a different experience since it is a bit more ‘fashionable’ than the regular Spanish taberna – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it is definitely something you need to get used to at first. As it is actually not as pretentious as it looks like. Once […]
Another great foodie experience a bit outside of the city centre in Alicante: Restaurant Piripi (13. April 2024)

A great place to try the local speciality “arroz a banda”: Restaurant La Taberna del Gourmet (13. April 2024)

The perfect location to get your Spanish food experience started: Restaurant El Bocaito (12. April 2024)
The El Bocaito is the perfect place to start your Spain experience – it opens (contrary to the information on Google) at 1pm (and not at noon), so I was actually lucky to arrive exactly there and then to get my experience as ‘the first customer in’. I went for the “boquerones a la andaluza” […]
