Alicante Gastronomy Guide 2018
Alicante Gastronomy Guide 2018
When you mention Alicante, many people immediately think of turron and the beach, but our province is much more than that. It is a well known tourist destination in the rest of Europe, especially the Costa Blanca, and you would not imagine that it is one of the most mountainous areas in Spain, much less that its gastronomy enjoys such prestige, with great restaurants of great national and international prestige.
Alicante’s gastronomy is renowned for its diversity of both inland and Mediterranean products. Its millenary culture makes it a gastronomic destination par excellence. This province boasts more Michelin stars than any other province in Spain and one of the star dishes is rice.
For yet another year, Masia La Mota Restaurant, located in the Font Roja Natural Park in the mountains of Alicante, is recommended in the pages of the prestigious Gastronomic Guide of Alicante, which this year has a foreword written by the world-renowned Spanish chef Ferran Adrià. We also had the great pleasure of hosting him in our charming hotel a couple of years ago.
It is worth mentioning that the well-known chef Ferrán Adrià and his brother Albert Adrià have been in the city of Alcoy supervising the creation of their tableware by Taller de Piñero.
Please find attached the link to the video where the famous chef explains the relationship with the Taller de Piñero and where our manager Indira Amaya appears.

Last year the 2017 Guide was presented by Chef Kiko Molla of Restaurante L’Escaletade Cocentaina who currently holds two Michelin stars and is located just a few kilometres from our hotel.
Carlos Corredor has carried out this initiative successfully, as this guide is present at fairs, tourist information offices and in the establishments themselves and has the support of companies that offer top quality products in our province. He has been able to promote our gastronomic offer so that you can have a reference of the places where you can find singularities and, above all, eat well.
Our manager Indira Amaya de Ameglio was able to attend this year’s presentation at the Corte Inglés, which was given by the renowned Chef Susi Diaz, founder of her restaurant La Finca in Elche, who has a long career as a self-taught chef. The evening was very pleasant and our manager was able to exchange impressions with this prestigious chef with one Michelin star and two Repsol suns and with other well known people in the gastronomic field such as
