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.
