Very nice and above all tasty tour. Carlos was very pleasant and knows what he is talking about. You get 20 small snacks and some wine. The market is nice and right in the center. Also recommend the excursion 7 secrets of Alicante because that is also with Carlos, who was unfortunately full with us because of Corona.
