Pasteleria Torreblanca

To make a comparison, you could say that Paco Torreblanca is to desserts what Ferrán Adria is to high-cuisine. His desserts and pastries are famous throughout the world. It’s a wonderland for sugar-fiends!

The pastry shop has a minimalist touch in its design and you know from the second you enter the door that this is no normal place. The service staff was very friendly. In Torreblanca, they put a lot of effort into the presentation and packaging, something I love. The boxes read “Torreblanca Haute Couture.” But, the most important thing, of course, are the pies, cakes, sweets, and chocolates you’ll find in the store.

We came to spend the day in Alicante and I was dying to try some of these high-level sweets. So, we walked under the scorching sun for a few kilometers until we finally reached Torreblanca. It’s a pretty cute place. The second we entered, we were overwhelmed with tarts, which aren’t “made” so much as they are “designed.” The woman at the counter was very friendly and explained all the little works of sugary art.

Right then and there we ate a tartlet for 3€ which we thoroughly enjoyed. You really notice the quality.
