Benidorm

Some tips to visit Benidorm that you should not miss

1 # Enjoy miles and miles of beach. In addition to its 2 main beaches Poniente and Levante (separated by Playa del Mal Pas) we find virgin coves at the foot of the Sierra Helada mountain, Cala del Tio Ximo and Almadrava

2 # The contrast of imposing skyscrapers with the low houses, which were once the old fishermen's houses that formed this town until the 1960s.

3 # The Old Town of Benidorm invites us to stroll through its cobbled streets full of small shops. It's like forgetting for a while that you are in one of the cities with the most tourism per square meter.

4 # In El Balcón Mediterráneo we can enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the sea and the Castle. Located on a small rocky cliff that separates both beaches, it offers incredible panoramic views of the city's skyline, the beaches and the Mediterranean Sea, as well as being a perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

5 # El Mirador de La Cruz located at the end of Levante beach. With an altitude of 217 meters in the highest area of the Sierra Helada Natural Park, it offers the best views of the entire city of Benidorm.

6 # Iberian Village of Tossal de La Cala, where remains of ceramics, bones, iron and glass have been found that are distributed by different museums in the Valencian Community. Located at the end of Poniente beach is an archaeological site of an Iberian settlement (SIII-S I BC).

7 # Punta del Cavall and Torre Morales. Two watchtowers from the 16th century where the guards watched the possible visits of pirates. They are declared a Site of Cultural Interest and are located at the 2 opposite ends of Benidorm.

8 # Its markets. One of the most famous is the Rincón de Loix market, another is the one in Foietes. El Cisne flea market. And if you visit the city in summer you can visit the picturesque Les Nits del Castell market, located in the Benidorm Castle.

9 # The wealth and variety of the gastronomy of Benidorm has been achieved thanks to the success of assimilating the good influences that the ancestors and other civilizations have deposited in the local cookbook. The international cuisine, the culinary traditions, the legacy of the merchant seamen, without forgetting the typical cuisine of the fishermen, the elaborate inland and the multiculturalism of a city with a great tourist history offer as a result an extraordinary list of specialties.

10 # Nightlife. The nightlife offer in the city is endless, from great nightclubs, English pubs, trendy places to have a drink, to streets of the historic center full of bars to have the first beer of the night.
