The local larder

What almost never fails in a village like Sant Joan d'Alacant.

Pan de pueblo

From a wood-fired oven if you're lucky; ask what time the batch comes out.

Queso de pastor

There's almost always a cheesemaker nearby; the local shop will know which one.

Miel de la sierra

From local beekeepers: wildflower or rosemary, depending on the hills.

Markets and local produce

Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.

Market day: Saturday and Sunday
