4 Authentic Experiences to Discover the Costa Blanca from Hotel La Laguna
When we think of the Costa Blanca, we often picture Mediterranean beaches, sunny days and long afternoons by the sea.
But this destination has so much more to offer.
Among lagoons, salt lakes, vineyards, local produce and landscapes that change with the light throughout the day, there is another side to the Costa Blanca: more authentic, gastronomic and closely connected to its local heritage.
At Hotel La Laguna Spa & Golf, we want you to discover this side of the destination too.
That is why we have selected a range of experiences that allow you to explore the Costa Blanca in a different way, combining nature, gastronomy, local traditions and unforgettable moments.
If you are planning a getaway to Alicante, Torrevieja, Guardamar or the Vega Baja, these four experiences can turn your stay into something truly memorable.

A different way to discover the Costa Blanca
Some destinations are discovered by exploring their streets.
Others, by tasting their flavours.
And others simply by taking the time to admire their landscapes.
The Costa Blanca offers all of these possibilities.
Just a short distance from Hotel La Laguna, you will find unique natural spaces such as the La Mata and Torrevieja Lagoons Natural Park, the salt lakes, the beaches of Guardamar and a variety of places where local gastronomy and traditions remain an important part of everyday life.
That is why our experiences are designed for travellers who want to go beyond conventional sightseeing.
Experiences to discover, taste, learn and enjoy.
1. Wine Route and Pairing in La Mata Natural Park
Wine, nature and gastronomy in a unique landscape
Can you imagine discovering vineyards in the heart of the natural surroundings of the La Mata and Torrevieja Lagoons?
Wine is also part of the identity of this area, and this experience offers a different way to discover its traditions.
The route begins by exploring the vineyards of the Natural Park, discovering the surrounding landscape and learning about a setting where nature, agriculture and local heritage come together.
During the route, there is also the opportunity to observe some of the bird species that inhabit the lagoons.
Then comes one of the highlights of the experience: the tasting.
The experience includes a wine from the vineyards of the park, together with two carefully selected local wines.
They are paired with a Mediterranean-inspired selection of premium extra virgin olive oil, gourmet tapas and artisan cheeses.
The result is an experience that brings together three of the great pleasures of travelling:
landscape + wine + gastronomy.
It is an especially appealing option for couples, wine lovers and travellers who enjoy discovering a destination through its local produce.

2. Discover the Tradition of Salt-Cured Specialities beside the Pink Lake
An experience inspired by Mediterranean flavours
Salt has played an important role in the history of Torrevieja.
The salt lakes are an essential part of the local landscape and heritage, and their influence can also be found in one of the great traditions of Mediterranean gastronomy: salt-cured specialities.
This experience begins beside one of the most remarkable landscapes on the Costa Blanca: the Pink Lake of Torrevieja.
A guided route introduces you to the surrounding landscape and explores the connection between the salt industry, the local territory and traditional gastronomy.
You will then discover the art of preparing traditional salt-cured products through a live culinary demonstration.
The experience concludes with a tasting accompanied by premium extra virgin olive oil and wine.
Because discovering a destination also means sitting down at the table and experiencing what makes it unique.

3. Sunset with Cava at the Pink Lake
When the landscape becomes the main attraction
There are certain moments of the day that can make a place feel completely different.
Sunset is one of them.
And watching the sun go down over the Pink Lake of Torrevieja transforms a visit into a truly memorable experience.
As the sun begins to set, the light changes across the landscape and the colours of the lake take on new shades.
This experience has been designed to let you enjoy that moment without rushing.
The experience begins with a guided visit around the Pink Lake, discovering its landscape and learning more about the history of the local salt industry.
Then comes the moment to pause.
To take in the view.
To enjoy the moment.
And to raise a glass.
A glass of Cava provides the perfect finishing touch as the sun disappears over the horizon.
It is an ideal experience for a romantic getaway, a special occasion or simply for anyone looking to enjoy a different side of the Costa Blanca.
Because some memories do not need many words.
Just a beautiful landscape, good company and the right moment.

4. Artisan Cheese Tasting at Torre del Moro
A journey through the flavours of Spain
Spain can also be discovered through its cheeses.
Every region, production method and tradition brings its own flavours, aromas and textures.
Our artisan Spanish cheese tasting offers a small gastronomic journey without leaving the Costa Blanca.
The experience takes place in the surroundings of Torre del Moro and includes a selection of six artisan Spanish cheeses.
During the tasting, you can discover different varieties, learn about their characteristics and explore what gives each cheese its own distinctive personality.
The experience is complemented by two premium extra virgin olive oils, together with wine and water.
A perfect choice for food lovers and travellers who enjoy discovering a destination through its local products and culinary traditions.
Because behind every product there is a story.
And behind every flavour, there is a place.
