10 days in Benidorm Itinerary

A major seaside resort on the famous Costa Blanca, Benidorm was built compactly, thanks to the foresight of a local government administrator in the 1960s, who had a vision for a holiday destination that would grow upwards.

Venture out of the city with trips to Playa Gandia (in Playa de Gandia), Aventura Pata Negra Denia (in Denia) and Peñón de Ifac Natural Park (in Calpe). There's lots more to do: wander the streets of El Casco Antiguo de Benidorm, enjoy the sand and surf at Poniente Beach, make a trip to Placa del Castell, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Playa de Levante.
