What to see in and around Benidorm?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s good to plan your holidays well in order to enjoy them to the full. So, if you’re wondering what to see in Benidorm and the surrounding area on your next holiday<\/strong>, here are the best options. Without a doubt, it is an area full of curiosities<\/a> to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old Town<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The old town of Benidorm is located in the centre of the town<\/strong>. It retains the essence of the fishing village it once was, with narrow cobbled streets, some white houses and many shops and terraces where you can have a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balcony of the Mediterranean<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Balc\u00f3n del Mediterr\u00e1neo is also known as the “Mirador del Castillo” <\/strong>and can be reached by climbing up a staircase from the Plaza del Castillo. It is one of the best known places in this town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blac\u00f3n\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is located on a rocky cliff, which serves as a natural separation between the Poniente and Levante beaches. If you want to enjoy the best views of the city, you can’t miss this perfect enclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewpoint of La Cruz<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another alternative to enjoy the best views of Benidorm is the Mirador de la Cruz.<\/strong> It is located in the Serra Gelada natural park and from there you can see the city, its beaches and its mountains. An essential route<\/a>. It’s another place you can’t miss when you go to Benidorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cruz (Cross) that gives its name to this site was put up in 1961 by some Franciscan friars. They were alarmed by the new customs that were coming to the city thanks to tourism and it was a kind of symbol of forgiveness for sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benidorm Beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you go to Benidorm, not only can you not miss its spectacular beaches, but it will be one of the motivations to visit this city. You have the ones we have already mentioned, the Levante and Poniente beaches, but also some coves such as Mal Pas, T\u00edo Ximo and Almadrava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
