About Benidorm
Benidorm is placed in the province of Alicante on the Mediterranean coast. It is the most visited Spanish resort. The city has about 68,000 residents and during the summer, it hosts approximately four million tourists. In the beginning of the fifties, Benidorm was a small fishing village which forms the heart of the old town today.Whether you arrive to Benidorm by bus or car, your first impression will be that you are in Rio or Hong Kong. View of Benidorm at night is something that you will certainly not forget for a long time. Due to its illuminated skyscrapers which look as if they are standing in the sea, you will think of Benidorm as a megalopolis with a huge and dirty port. However, it is actually the largest Spanish summer resort, the city where everything is dedicated to tourists.

Beaches

The soul of the city is made of two beautiful sandy beaches - the rising sun beach (Playa Levante) and the sunset beach (Poniente Playa). Both are equally beautiful, albeit they have different sensibilities. If you do not know which one to choose, find the accommodation near Poniente and spend your evenings near Levante. In that way, your dream vacation may come true. During the day you will enjoy the calming sound of waves and Levante will provide you with a rich nightlife.There are also two small city beaches which are separated by a cape. However, that cape is usually called Castello by local inhabitants, although it is just a viewpoint. In the foothill of the old town is Playa del Mar Pas. It is a small, hidden city beach. Younger tourists are the main visitors of this beach. However, you also find “backpack” tourists here, although camping in the city is forbidden.


El Castell de Guadalest

The medieval village of Guadalest is situated just a few kilometers from Benidorm in the mountains. This amazing place has remarkable monuments such as Castello San Jose from the 12th century, baroque Catholic Church, etc... It has only 189 inhabitants, so you can enjoy authentic food and drink here.

Terra Mitica

What you should not miss, even if you are prone to this type of entertainment, is a visit to Terra Mitica. It is located only three miles from the center of Benidorm on the other side of the highway. Terra Mitica is Paramount’s (movie house) amusement park. It opened in 2003 and attracts tourists from all over the Mediterranean coast.
The park is a walk through history and ancient civilizations. Therefore, it is divided into "lands" and civilizations. So you can walk through Egypt, Rome, Ancient Greece, Iberia, etc. Fun is guaranteed!
