TEA HOUSE - Crevillente - Albatera.

The Crevillente Albatera Tea House - Alicante - Costa Blanca.

The Carmen del Campillo Tea House - "Casa Morisca".

For a Costa Blanca trip out (with a difference) why not visit Spain's best kept secret, the Moroccan/Arabian Tea House ... situated just off the N340 road which runs from Crevillente to Albatera (around 36km from Alicante itself) ...

THE TEAHOUSE - What to expect ..

The gates to this secret arabian tea house are locked behind you once you enter the place, inside there are exotic gardens illuminated by lanterns (at night) and a large winding property with a labyrinth of different rooms. There are peacocks roaming the grounds, piped Arabian music in certain places.. and a tepee on one of the terraces of the tea house.
Simply take a seat inside or out and someone will come round to serve you ...
The Arabian tea is quite sweet, of various flavours and arabic "sweets" are also offered.



As for prices ... I "think" the way it works is that the Tea House charges 8 euro a head for adults and 4 euro per child ... but ... as there is no menu or price list available ...
I can't say for sure .. but this is what we were charged ..
First visit .. 2 adults .. 2 pots tea .. was 16€
Second visit 5 adults & one child .. three iced lemon & two pots tea .. was 44€
Whether the price increases, if you have a second "round" of drinks ... I can't say.
