Discover the essence of one of Spain's most iconic liqueurs on this exclusive day trip to Cartagena, the birthplace of the world-famous Licor 43. Enjoy a journey that combines history, flavor, and culture: a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

Your adventure begins with a comfortable drive along the Mediterranean coast to the ancient Roman city of Cartagena.

The visit begins with a captivating audiovisual presentation that reveals how Licor 43 evolved from a local secret to a global sensation enjoyed in more than 60 countries.

Next, you'll tour the museum and distillery, where the aroma of citrus, herbs, and vanilla fills the air. Expert guides will show you every step of the production process: from the careful selection of ingredients to the meticulous aging and blending that give Licor 43 its golden color and unmistakable smoothness.

After the tour, awaken your senses with a guided tasting. Enjoy Licor 43 in three different ways: neat, on the rocks, and in a delicious cocktail. Discover how its complex and delicate flavor enhances both classic and contemporary drinks. You'll also learn interesting facts about cocktail culture and the perfect way to serve Licor 43 at home.

Finally, relax at the Café del Experiencia, overlooking the hills surrounding Cartagena. Enjoy a signature cocktail or a "Café Asiático," the region's most famous coffee, which combines espresso, condensed milk, brandy, and Licor 43. It's the perfect ending to your tasting experience.

Before heading back, you'll have time to explore the boutique, where you can purchase exclusive editions of Licor 43, elegant glassware, and gourmet gifts available only at the distillery.
