Day Out Benidorm Town
The Costa Blanca’s tourist capital and the Mediterranean’s equivalent of New York! Like it or dislike it, Benidorm is a must see for everyone, even if it is just so that you can say ‘I’ve been there’!
Over recent years Benidorm has been transformed into a major tourist destination. It has two wonderful promenades to choose from along Poniente and Levante beach as well as a small marina. The bustling, historic old quarter is well worth a visit and in particular the three plazas of Santa Ana, Castelar and Castell from which there are breathtaking views of both beaches and the impressive skyline. There is a thriving shopping centre with all of the major brands and high street names as well as a wealth of bars, cafes and restaurants, not to mention all of the nightly entertainment that the hotels offer. Benidorm is a special place which is just getting bigger, better and taller!!
