Cuquet de Llum is a "must visit" when you are in Alicante. As the only shop with exclusively Alicante-only products, it is a wonderful way to stock up on wine, chocolates, honey, baked goods, and more. The proprietor, Paco, is incredibly friendly and helpful --- his sommelier training is evident as he recommends wine-food pairings. And the prices are super reasonable!

Casa Luz is a shop full of beautiful products from Turkey. We want to unite both sides of the Mediterranean and bring a piece of Turkey to Alicante. The display of the shop in itself is breath taking and is sure to invite a lot of customers. The turkish lamps are accommodated in spirals and the rest of our products are handmade (bowls, plates, towels, mugs, coasters, tiles, natural soaps, etc.).

I recently went to these tea rooms with a bus group and loved it. The place is so charming and well displayed. I enjoyed wandering the gardens and truly felt I was in Morocco. The lovely stone paths, the calming music, the pottery, the Bedouin tent, the resident peacock, everything was perfect. The selection of teas was incredible, I had a delicious Rooibos chocolate flavoured tea. I also loved the baklava type pastries. As the sun set, the gardens and tea rooms took on a romantic, exotic feel. I wandered the candlelit paths and discovered many more interesting scenes. I didn't want to leave. If you are looking for something a bit different, this is the place to visit. It can be hard to find as it's tucked away but that is part of the charm. I will be bringing out of town guests here to be sure!!

The first thing you notice about this market this hope beautiful the building it is in. It is steeped in history and well worth a visit in the centre of town. It is a local markets so, the therefore , it closes in the afternoon for the siesta period. In there, you will find high-quality products and at reasonable prices as well.
