Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Alicante (Region) The beach is absolutely stunning, and the picturesque views and thoughtful amenities combine to make this beach the perfect vacation destination. Regardless of the season, it is always crowded with people and there are many people watching. The entire embankment is lined with cafes and shops and is always noisy and full of the smell of food. There are also a lot of dogs running around here that are not very comfortable. There are almost no bus stops nearby, so you have to walk a bit to get to the bus. The beach is generally average, but there are more comfortable places a little further away where you can enjoy privacy and relaxation with your family. #JanuaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Valencia

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Alicante (Region) Benidorm Plaza Castillo is a historic place, it is located in the old town of Benidorm, it has been transformed over the years to improve it and make it more attractive. There are even information signs describing the place. This is a square built on the ruins of a castle according to history. The view is magnificent. It is a rather beautiful and modern viewing square, and the view of the whole Benidorm is better than that of the Mediterranean viewing platform. The Mediterranean balcony must be walked down some stairs through the Plaza del Castillo to reach the entrance of the viewing platform. Splitting the beach east and west you can see the Levante district (seen on the left when entering the square) and the Poniente district (seen on the right when entering the square). The best thing is to look down at the sea from the height of the square, listen to the waves, smell the sea breeze, and listen to the seagulls that occasionally appear nearby. Sometimes there was music playing, which was wonderful in this magnificent place. This is the natural and unique charm of this place. Here you can breathe pure air and it is also a paradise of tranquility. Highly recommend this historic place of unparalleled beauty, it will not disappoint. #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Alicante (Region) The walk from the old city center of Benidorm is difficult, only the last 150 meters are rocky roads that can be steep and winding, once you get close to the top of the mountain it becomes flat, there are a lot of exposed natural rocks so be careful when walking. Reaching the top will reward you with a beautiful view of the cross. There are wonderful views over Benidorm, the surrounding mountain landscape and the Mediterranean Sea. It's easy to get lost if you're coming from the centre of Benidorm and the walk up there might take about 30-40 minutes. You need to have a decent level of fitness as well as plenty of water as it can get very hot. #JanuaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Valencia
