Costa Blanca Tour Services offers the Alicante Quiz, a refreshing twist on urban adventure that invites visitors to engage with the city’s landmarks and culture through a dynamic 3-hour interactive experience.

This isn’t just sightseeing – it’s a lively competition designed to immerse visitors in the genuine fabric of Alicante. Participants encounter iconic locations such as the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, whose limestone cliffs carve a dramatic skyline, and the bustling Mercado Central, where aromas of fresh seafood and regional produce paint a vivid sensory portrait. Along the way, tasters introduce teams to authentic local flavors like turrón and local wines, blending cultural insight with palate-pleasing moments.

Costa Blanca Tour Services transforms urban exploration into an engaging, social experience, perfect for groups eager to connect with Alicante’s heritage beyond the usual passersby’s snapshots. The tour ends with a relaxed aperitif, encouraging reflection on the sights and flavors absorbed over the course of the game-like challenge.

Positioned as a standout within Alicante’s adventure offerings, this interactive quiz balances cultural education and playful competition, ideal for visitors who want a hands-on connection to the city’s dynamic spirit.
