Summer holidays are right around the corner, and with it, all the fun and relaxation we eagerly waited for all year. We all want our summer holidays to be just perfect, therefore, it is very important that we pick a destination that covers every aspect we wished for. If you are looking to experience beautiful beaches, a rich gastronomy and nature during your next holidays, then there is a destination we can not stop recommending: Benidorm.
Discovering Benidorm
Benidorm is a beautiful coastal city located in the western coast of Spain. The city is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, with some truly breathtaking beaches that attract tourists from all over the world. Benidorm is also known as “the New York from the Mediterranean” because of the amount of skyscrapers built in this city, making it the second city in the world with the highest number of skyscrapers per m2.
The Benidorm tourist scene is very prevalent. Benidorm has a huge number of hotels, attractions, restaurants and monuments to cater to the tourists’ needs. And even if you managed to see everything that Benidorm has to offer during your stay, the area surrounding the city is just as beautiful. Because of that, we recommend that you rent a car with companies like Victoria Cars as you arrive at Benidorm, since it will allow you to not only move freely around Benidorm and cover more interesting points in a shorter time, but also to discover all the wonders nearby.
Benidorm has become the first Spanish city to earn the accreditation of Smart Tourist Destination thanks to its accessibility, smart use of resources and innovation programs, making it a holiday destination that will surely not disappoint you.
