Description

For those with a craving for sweets, we invite you to join us at the Tower of Santa Catalina within the Santa Barbara Castle for a chocolate and turrón tasting experience.

You will embark on a journey through the history of chocolate and turrón, two of Alicante's cherished sweets. Our knowledgeable guide will uncover the origins of turrón, a beloved Christmas treat crafted in Jijona and Villajoyosa, influenced by the region's Arab heritage.

Questions about the ingredients, creation process, and the significance of turrón during the holiday season will be addressed during this culinary adventure. You will have the opportunity to try three chocolates from Villajoyosa and two turrones from Jijona.

After a 45-minute session, our chocolate and turrón tasting event will conclude, leaving us with a sweet taste in our mouths.
