Mediterranean Cuisine: Health and Flavor in Costa Blanca
Mediterranean cuisine is synonymous with health, freshness, and flavor. In Costa Blanca, this translates into dishes like esqueixada (cod salad), salads with tuna belly, or baked fish with vegetables. Where to try it? In Alicante, El Portal is a reference. In Torrevieja, La Mediterránea offers balanced menus with sea views.
Signature Dishes
- Esqueixada (cod salad): Fresh salad with shredded cod.
- Salad with tuna belly: With tuna, egg, and peppers.
- Baked fish: Sea bass or sea bream with potatoes and vegetables.
- Fish soup: Ideal to start.
Why Choose Mediterranean Cuisine?
Because it’s healthy without sacrificing flavor. Here, dishes are cooked with extra virgin olive oil from Alicante, fresh fish from the market, and seasonal vegetables. Plus, it’s a very versatile cuisine: from cold dishes for summer to comforting stews for winter.
Tips to Enjoy It
- Order dishes with seasonal fish (like sea bream in summer).
- Pair them with a rosé wine from Alicante.
- In summer, salads and cold dishes are ideal.
- In winter, fish stews are comforting.
