Breaks to Benidorm - Poor Benidorm has suffered from bad press over the years and, quite honestly, a lot of it was unjustified. Yes, it has a high rise skyline that could rival Manhattan and that is not going to change, but look beyond to the expanses of simply pristine, gold dusted beaches that stretch as if forever an that is the real essence of a Costa Blanca holiday resort.
The image of Benidorm has been of an over commercialised resort; however, a stroll through the Old Town of Benidorm in a maze of cobblestoned streets will renew your faith in an authentic way of life. Walk down "Tapas Alley" where throngs of hungry visitors check out the latest local nibbles, sip a chilled Tio Pepe and soak up an atmosphere evocative of old Spain.
In the town centre, the Levante area is famed for the wonderful beach and hustle and bustle of a tourist haunt; whereas the adjacent area of Rincon de Loix is newer and catching up on infrastructure. Levante has two prime theme parks and Mundomar houses a wonderful Dolphinarium and Bat Cave - Dracula beware! Aqualandia provides fantastic, splashtastic fun for all the family with amazing waterslides and rides.
Then the Poniente (meaning setting sun) district is the quieter side of life with a wide expanse of lovely beach and laid back pace. The fabulous adventure land and theme park, Terra Mitica, is located only 6 klms. from Benidorm and rivals Salou's PortAventura for excitement and thrilling rides, so kids of all ages are cordially invited!
