Wine & Paella from Dramatic Gorges to Mediterranean Beaches
Between the fabled cities of Madrid and Valencia there is a mystical land. One that exists in cyclists’ dreams. Medieval towns perched atop dramatic gorges. Rock formations of curious shapes and labyrinthine Moorish caves that hold centuries-old stories. Superb wines, paella and the lulling waves of the warm Mediterranean ground you in the moment. In this place. And now you know: utopia is within reach.
Alicante
Alicante is located on Spain’s Costa Blanca in the Levant Region, along the country’s southeastern coast and is a tourist resort and commercial port. The region is marked by lush mountain ranges. During the Gothic era of the fifteenth through sixteenth centuries centuries, art and architecture flourished in Alicante and the remainder of the Levant Region. Immense palaces and grandiose churches were built with elaborate baroque details. Visitors can see a third century BC fortress - the citadel of Santa Bárbara built by ruler Amilcar Barca, a Carthaginian, Arrabal Roig - the old quarter, the Baroque town hall (1701-60), the Church of Santa María (14th century), and the Renaissance church of San Nicolás de Bari (18th century).
