Travel guide Benidorm

(Last update: )

Benidorm is, by its own merits, the ultimate sun and beach tourist destination. Thus, if a nice beach is what you like, if you just want to disconnect from the world with a holiday of apartment, beach, cold beer and a lounger, Benidorm is your destination.

Benidorm has managed itself to create an unmatched offer in this type of tourism, it offers all the charms of the Valencian coast, combined with a hectic nightlife and the hot summer sun.

The offer of Benidorm come from tourism development times in Spain in the sixties of last century and since then became the main destination for Spanish people and foreigners eager and willing the typical Spanish sun. His proposal, always linked to the concept of sun and sand, was increased along the years and golden age in the nineties with the massive urban development in the area. Nowadays, the pressure from tourism and development of alternative tourism have made a dent in Benidorm and it has given way to other places also beautiful or different, but Benidorm is still the undisputed leader of the "sun and beach", whether individual, family, with friends, services that Benidorm offers is still unsurpassed. In addition, combined today with places close to Benidorm and the surrounding area completes a tourist proposal that goes beyond the sun and beach. Today in Benidorm area a tourist can find variety and quality.

Tours

The first thing we can do to feel part of Benidorm, is something that has a direct relationship with the area that is part (the Valencian Community) and its surroundings (the sea), we mean nothing more and nothing less than fill the stomach with a delicious paella and watering our throats with a fresh "sangría" (a type of red wine punch), nothing more typical and traditional when a Spanish tourist beach in question. At this point it is good to warn you, if you're looking for quality, you should never lunch in tourist areas. If fast food, or a simple snack, is what we're looking for, in tourist areas will find excellent options, however for a good gastronomy, eating quality, the nerve center and the beach terraces are never best option, we will pay four times more than normal in exchange for a low level of quality and service. Therefore, to good food without empty your pocket we recommend you stay away from the center and find incredible (and affordable) dining experiences. For example on the Levante area have restaurants on the street such as Lepanto or even on the Playa de Levante with slightly higher prices (on the beach) but with better value for money than in the center of Benidorm. It is very difficult to make recommendations with establishments names concerning food in these summer tourist places because not in all cases, the high quality remains from year to year, but keep in mind the basic rule of low-income tourists: stay away from major centers of tourist concentration.

We was saying that Benidorm is more than beach. Nowadays, society increasingly requires new types of leisure and the Costa Blanca (the coast of Benidorm part) is not lagging behind, aim to an increased leisure and to better proposals. An example is Terra Mitica Theme Park, an amusement park dedicated to Mediterranean civilizations, we recommend the inverted roller coaster (moving at 100 km / h), the pyramid of terror and shows several (dancing, adventures). The entrance fee (about 35 euros for adults and children below 30 euros) allows them to enjoy all the shows and almost every game, is a journey that will take them all day. To arrive by car you can go to the highway A-7 and take a left until you reach a well-marked exit to the park. But, from Rincon de Loix there are free buses that take you to Terra Mitica. The same bus takes you también a Terra Natura, a zoo with animals in invisible containment that allows you to watch them as if they were in their natural habitat and Aqua Natura, a water park. A ticket to return costs less than 2 euros.

If you want to venture a little farther away from Benidorm, you have journeys top spend the day, for example to visit the Canelobre caves about 50 km from Benidorm to Alicante, or the waterfalls of Algar, with a lush landscape, on the opposite side. About beaches, we recommend Levante whether you like the noise, public services on the beach and look for the youth activity center to plan a night out to which nothing is missing. Poniente beach, however, is lower profile and therefore has less movement and more tranquility in your immaculate and very wide sandy surface. A beach suitable for families looking for peace of mind.

Finally, to end this guide, is good to tell you that Benidorm is also putting much effort in developing an exciting offer of conferences and conventions in order to get a position in business tourism as well as sports tourism such as the Golf, but back to its essence, what I said at the beginning, no matter how much Benidorm reinvents itself, no matter how many different offers are boosted, if what you like is sun and the beach, paella and sangría, the fun and the deck chair, then you do not need anything else, Benidorm has been, and is, the leader in this type of tourism. You will not be disappointed.
