About us
A rural hotel in the heart of Tabarca Island
La Trancada is an 18th century building, former fishermen’s house. Located three miles from Santa Pola and twelve from Alicante where the tiny island of Tabarca, the only populated in the Valencian Community, emerges from the Mediterranean.
We offer the visitor as an ideal refuge to escape the stress of the city and immerse themselves in the blue of the Mediterranean.
Spending a few days in La Trancada is to step away from the world, take off your watch and let your gaze fly through its crystal clear waters

Tabarquina gastronomy
The taste of the sea can not miss on your visit to the island, taste the typical tabarca cauldron or any rice in our two family restaurants, Amparin and Gloria.
Relax
There is little sensation there is like staying on an island when all visitors abandon it with their boats. Stroll through a cove, watch the sunset and relax.
Typical architecture
Its walled enclosure shelters the people. The way they build their homes are a hallmark of the island, a small but charming village
