Spring in Benidorm is a perfect time to enjoy its natural surroundings and mild climate.
The warm but pleasant temperatures invite you to explore the green spaces and outdoor trails around the city.

3. Participate in outdoor cultural activities
Spring also brings cultural events, such as craft markets and local festivals. Visit the old town to enjoy live music and sample local specialities in a charming atmosphere.
Summer, beyond the beaches
Although the beaches are a big draw in summer, Benidorm has much more to offer during this season. Take advantage of the long, sunny days to explore less conventional activities.

Summer brings with it open-air cinema screenings in different parts of the city. Enjoy a film under the stars with the sea breeze as a backdrop.
