Guided and Theatrical Gastronomic Tour in Alaior

Context Alaior, located on the island of Menorca, preserves a historic district with over 700 years of heritage, where streets and monuments tell the story of its past. The gastronomic tour unfolds in this urban setting, blending architectural heritage with the rich local culinary tradition. The route includes iconic sites such as the Church of Santa Eulalia and rarely accessible historical tunnels, available only on this experience. The Experience As you walk through cobbled streets, the scent of saffron-infused bread and dried fruits fills the air. You’ll climb the church bell tower, explore the underground tunnels with narrated stories of their past uses, and conclude at the open-air market, where you’ll taste local wines, cheeses, and traditional breads made exclusively on Menorca. The theatrical version adds immersive storytelling through soundscapes and live narration, bringing the town’s history vividly to life in the central plaza.

It is not recommended for visitors with limited mobility without assistance, or those with severe food allergies.
