A Mediterranean gastronomy


The city is one of the most characteristic of the Costa Blanca. When it comes to eating, it is also a good example to look out for. All the flavours of the Mediterranean are reflected in the cuisine of this place. As in the rest of the coastal towns, the main ingredients are those of the orchard and those of the sea.

Without forgetting the large quantity and quality of rice and handmade sausages.

The traditional saying goes: "en Benissa polp i missa". The gastronomy of the locality has a protagonist, which is the octopus. In stew or stew, the coquero octopus replaces meat in many dishes.
