We love gelato. Here ice cream stores most often identify it as “helado,” simply ice cream. But there is nothing that would qualify as simple at the shop we found in a walk street right around the corner from our apartment. Flavors are in Spanish displayed in covered containers. So ordering is a surprise for us. Here are some flavors we have tried…
Mantecado – Cuban Custard, Nata – Cream, Lemon con Jengibre – Lemon with Ginger, Turon – Nougat, (Alicante is known for Nougat candy.) Dulche de Leche – 3 Milk and Caramel, Leche de Renada – Meringe Milk, Chocolate sin Leche – Chocolate without Milk, Tarta de Queso – Cheesecake, Marcuya – Passion Fruit, Orquideas Vainilla – Vanilla Orchids, Alemendra, Limon y Vainilla – Almonds, Lemon and Vanilla and more to try before we go home.
I am a purist so the photo is Chocalate Belga y Nata – Belgian Chocolate and Nata – Cream.

Alicante has more plazas and parks than any city we have visited. Really enjoying the green.
Excuse me a moment while I grab a microfiber cloth to wipe the drool from my iPhone screen. Now—-where were we. Oh yes: WOW! And so far from Italy. Who knew? I sure didn’t. 😋

The gelato in Lecce is my favorite so far.
now that is a shop I could not walk past.
We’re trying to ration ourselves.
once a day is moderate.
