Stop At: Chocolates Perez, Partida Mediases 1, 03570 Villajoyosa Spain

The origin and manufacture of chocolate in Villajoyosa dates all the way back to the 17th century when sailors practiced the coastal trade trading salted fish and almonds for cocoa pods. The very first chocolate factory was established in 1810 and there once was more than 30 chocolate factories in this town.
We will visit the small family run chocolate factory of Chocolates Perez and taste the best chocolate in town!

This tour is absolutely brilliant! The two towns that you go to are both amazing with their history, architecture and location. Alberto was able to really make the history of both places come alive. The stop off at the chocolate factory is also very interesting and tasty. If you only have time to do one tour while you are in Alicante, make it this one. You will not regret it.

Booked this thru Ali-Oli tours. After many tries due to the minimum people needed, we were added to a Spanish speaking tour. Alberto was gracious enough to add in English were needed. This was a great tour! The two towns were great to see and made for a full day. I highly recommend Ali-Oli for tours and especially this tour. Your guide was the best and the tour company too

The tour was excellent from beginning to end and Alberto, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The chocolate factory tour was extremely interesting and lovely to then end the tour with some amazing chocolate. The old town of Altea was so pretty, has a very chilled out vibe and is full of amazing photo opportunities. All in all a great tour. Thank you Alberto.

Altea is a classic whitewashed Spanish village. Narrow streets, artisan shops lovely cafes and restaurants and great viewing points The main square is really lovely with the church as it’s centrepiece. A really popular and lively place with loads of atmosphere. There’s a great viewing point just off the square looking towards Albea and just below the square looking towards Calpe. Park at the bottom of the village and walk up to the top if you can. A great experience walking through the narrow streets and housing

We tried twice to book this tour through Trip Advisor and both times after accepting our reservation the tour was cancelled.
