Itinerary day 1
16:00- 17:00
Walk through the old town of Benidorm
One of the liveliest areas of the city is undoubtedly the historic old town of Benidorm, where the pedestrian streets are full of shops of all kinds. We recommend a walk in Elche park, the Plaza Canalejas or the church of San Jaime and Santa Ana to get a feel of the city.
17.30- 19:00
Levante Beach
Get ready to walk on 2 kilometres of golden sand in the heart of the city. On Levante beach, perhaps one of the best known in Europe, you can sunbathe until late afternoon and enjoy a lovely walk along the Mediterranean.
19:30- 20:00
Balcony of the Mediterranean
Between the two most famous beaches of Benidorm is this panoramic viewpoint overlooking the sea. In the past, a defensive fortress stood on this 40-metre rock, of which only a few remains are still present today.
21:30- 23:00
In Black Restaurant
If you like fusion cuisine we suggest you visit the beautiful and luxurious Asian garden of the In Black restaurant. In this establishment, the delicious gastronomic offering is accompanied by an exquisite tropical atmosphere with ponds and stone statues.
