New resort - Benidorm. Attractions and features of the city

Spanish New York, a small European city, in whose territory a lot of skyscrapers has grown, is considered to be Benidorm. It is customary to divide sights here into old and new ones, since earlier the city was an ordinary Spanish fishing village with its own special history. Later it began to be actively built up, and now looks like an American metropolis. Well, we will also open for ourselves Benidorm, the sights and beauties of this region, and also consider where you can have a great rest.

Beautiful embankment

Many tourists go to Spain to rest, not only to lie on the beaches, but also to spend a few romantic evenings, walking along the picturesque streets. One of these is the two-story Ponet embankment constructed in 2009, which has already become the main symbol of the city of Benidorm. The map shows us that it has a twisty line, which in its structure resembles a sea wave. The embankment is surrounded by exquisite restaurants from the city side, where you can taste rare delicacies. On the beach side are open summer cafes. If you decide to walk along this promenade, you can choose the lower level or the upper one. They are connected by a lot of stairs, which are illuminated at night. So this architectural masterpiece looks extraordinarily surreal.

Parte Vieja

The old buildings, which were built many centuries ago, are able to show us what Benidorm was in those days. Spain is famous for its narrow bridge, winding streets, which are surrounded by low houses. And the territory, called Parte Vieja, meets these standards. The most interesting thing is that the most sophisticated establishments for recreation, restaurants, coffee shops and even branded clothing stores are located in the old part of the metropolis. You can walk around the streets indefinitely, but we assure you, you can never get lost in these quarters. Almost every house that will come across on the way, will cause great interest, and certainly will remain in your memory for a long time.

The main church of the city

We continue to master the old and very beautiful Benidorm. Its sights do not end on beautiful houses and manors. So, following up a steep climb (here everyone knows where this street is, so you can easily find it), you will reach the temple of San Jaime-i-Santa Anna. White walls, blue domes, architectural style, characteristic of the eighteenth century - all this can be seen in one building. The beauty of an ideal building is complemented by the fact that it is located on a hill that literally hangs over the sea. That is why there was built an observation deck, standing on which you can enjoy the view of the natural beauty of the Mediterranean endlessly. In addition, many come here and to successfully take a picture, because the local lighting can not be compared with any other.

We go on vacation to the park

The majority of tourists admire the parks of Benidorm. Each of them is unusual and interesting in its own way. We will start now with the most important, which is located in the center of the city. It is famous for its ancient bullring, which is buried in the green of local bushes and trees. For tourists who are accustomed to entertain themselves on holiday, and not to explore the ancient sights, the find is the park "Aqualandia". There are many water attractions, which will appeal to adults and children alike. But those who prefer to discover new species of fauna during their travel can go to the Terra Natura park. This is one of the most accurate in the world imitations of this African safari. Nearby there is another similar "zoo" - "Mundomar". Here the rare species of birds are presented to the attention of tourists. Also note that on the territory of this park there are water shows with the participation of dolphins and fur seals.

Seaside holidays

The beaches of Benidorm have recently been considered the best on the whole coast. They are well-kept, clean, the entrance to the sea is gentle, and an advantageous location (as if in a bay) protects them from storms and winds. On the territory of the city there are four recreation areas, each of which has its own characteristics. The main one is in the center and stretches along the Ponete waterfront. Infrastructure here at a high level, the waves of the sea are washed by golden sand. Nevertheless, there are not a lot of tourists going there, because if you are looking for a place not too crowded, then this is ideal.

Where the more noisy beach is the Playa de Levante. It stretches along the old part of the city and annually collects millions of tourists on its expanses. The bottom is sandy, which is quite acceptable for recreation.

Secluded nooks of the city

Above were mentioned those beaches that are part of the city under the name of Benidorm. Sights, for which tourists from all over Europe go here, are beyond its borders. For example, in a cozy bay is the beach of Cala del Tio Ximo, which is popular with nudists.

Another secluded place is the recreation area La Isla de Benidorm. Get there more often by sea. The only drawback is a rocky coast and a very narrow sandy strip. However, swim, enjoy the silence and harmony with nature here will certainly work. Have a nice rest!
