Spread along the more than 250 kilometres of coastline of the province of Alicante - the Costa Blanca - we can find and visit a surprising collection of ancient watchtowers: they were designed by the prominent military engineer Juan Bautista Antonelli and built during the reign of Philip II, during the 16th century, in order to defend the most dangerous border of the kingdom at that time: the maritime one. We can tell you in advance that there is a lot to taste in this town. Rice, as is known throughout the eastern region, is one of the essential dishes in the Mediterranean diet. Rice is highly appreciated on the Costa Blanca and is the star in most of our restaurants, as is paella, black rice, brothy rice... In addition to rice, fresh fish and seafood are also stars on the menu of any bar or restaurant. Fried, in cauldrons, in stews... you can consume them in different ways. Finestrat reflects the good taste for good food and drink of the town's inhabitants, since in every bite you can feel the Mediterranean flavor.
