For a Costa Blanca trip out with a difference why not visit Spain’s best kept secret, the Moroccan/Arabian Tea House.
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.
Directions to the Costa Blanca secret Arabian tea house…
Turn right off the N340 road heading from Crevillente to Albatera at the Cespa Petrol Station.
Drive up this road for 1.7km – on the left you will see a small electricity building full of graffiti – turn right here and you will pass a house with two lions on the gateposts – turn first right after that house onto the dirt-track – 300m down this track turn right and 130m ahead of you is the Arabian tea house car park. The entrance to the Crevillente Tea House is at the bottom of the car park to the left.
It is apparently a bit out the way, so maybe best to go in a group at night.
Tea House Opening Times (Hours – Carmen del Campillo).
The best time to visit the Tea House is just before sundown on a hot summer night.. the doors to the Tea House only open around late afternoon.
