Restaurants
The combination of coastal fishing and inland farming provides assurance that the gastronomy of the Mediterranean region is a rich experience waiting to be explored and enjoyed by those living in Spain. Each day the harvest of the sea brings nets full of fresh fish, crustaceans and shellfish delivered fresh to the hundreds of restaurants that line the coast.
This seafood is enhanced by the wonderfully fresh produce from the orchards, groves and fields of the inland villages. The hills of Murcia and Alicante produce supplementary wines and liquors to round off some of the richest recipes you can find in the healthiest diet in the world.
