Enjoy Benidorm's gastronomy

The richness and variety of Benidorm's gastronomy has been achieved thanks to the success of assimilating the good influences that the ancestors and other civilisations have been depositing in the local recipe book.

Thus, the international cuisine, the culinary traditions inherited from the Arabs, the legacy of the merchant seafarers, without forgetting the typical cuisine of the fishermen, the elaborate inland cuisine and the multiculturalism of a city with a great tourist trajectory offer as a result an extraordinary list of specialities.

Rice with red mullet and pumpkin, poor-style fish casserole, rice with anchovies and spinach, and pebrot are some of the typical dishes, while the pastries include stuffed coca, sweet potato pastries and the San Blas bun.

Another of Benidorm's options is to go out for tapas, a Spanish custom of informal but varied eating. The city has a wide range of bars, breweries and tapas bars and pinchos (tapas and pinchos) to go with a good wine.

Benidorm also celebrates numerous gastronomic activities that offer the best of the local gastronomy at very good prices: Spoon Days, Tapas and Pinchos Competition, Gastronomic Days and Rice Days make up the calendar for the most exquisite palates.
