There more to Benidorm than Benidorm
Think you've seen it all? Time to explore? There is so much to see in the surrounding area. Numerous towns and Villages surround Benidorm. Each one places and extra cherry on the Benidorm cake. The word Beautiful is commonly used when we mention Altea, Gaudalest or Algar Falls. Why not hire a car and really explore the area. There is so much to see and it would be unfair of me to take away all the surprises, but heading into the mountains is one suggestion.
