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), Peñón de Ifac Natural Park (in Calpe) and Aventura Pata Negra Denia (in Denia). There's still lots to do: take a stroll through El Casco Antiguo de Benidorm, enjoy the sand and surf at Poniente Beach, tour the pleasant surroundings at Playa del Arenal, and take in nature's colorful creations at El Palmeral.
