Benidorm & Balcón del Mediterráneo
Benidorm
A seaside resort city full of skyscrapers, where the Mediterranean Balcony lookout on the old town headland overlooks the two main beaches.
Benidorm is one of Spain's best-known seaside resorts. It has one of the highest densities of high-rise buildings in Europe, earning it the nickname “the Manhattan of the Mediterranean.” The old town sits on a headland between two beaches. At its tip, the blue-and-white railed Balcón del Mediterráneo (Mediterranean Balcony) overlooks the roughly 2 km-long Levante Beach, Poniente Beach and Benidorm Island offshore. Tram Line 9 from Alicante takes about an hour to reach Benidorm. Nightlife and theme parks are also highlights of the city.
