Benidorm boasts four miles of beautiful golden beaches overlooking the glistening Mediterranean Sea.
This old fishing town is a popular choice for many tourists and is well-known for its lively nightlife, but there’s plenty more to enjoy if you’d prefer a quiet break in the sun.
Mundomar Sealife and Animal Park is a breathtaking natural park in the mountains of Benidorm. It’s the perfect opportunity to see exotic parrots up close, swim with sea lions, discover exotic birds or even meet the colonies of meerkats!
After that comes the (literally!) high point. At the highest point of the park is the dolphin show, where spectators can witness half an hour of dolphin acrobatics. Enjoy watching the amazing animals jump, twist and leap around to music – you’ll be surprised at how good their rhythm is! If you’re lucky you could even get selected as a volunteer to help with the performance! Don’t miss out on the chance to capture some pictures for the family album, either, for some great holiday memories.
Make sure you don’t miss anything by checking the show times on the Mundomar website – and booking your tickets online to get the best price! www.mundomarbenidorm.com
For something a bit more energetic, put your driving skills to the test on a Marco Polo Safari Tour!
Here you can climb the Aitana Mountain in a 4×4, taking in the stunning views of valleys, canyons and a turquoise reservoir below. Then, if your nerves can take it, drive down a winding dirt track to a jungle-like dry river. After all that, treat yourself to a meal from one of the traditional mountain restaurants or indulge in a picnic washed down with a glass of wine.
Not one for the faint hearted, but if you’re up for a challenge, find out more at www.marcopoloexpediciones.es
To freshen up after lunch, look no further than the natural shower at the Algar Waterfall.
Amigos Bar & Bistro is a highly rated eatery situated in Benidorm’s Old Town. It’s pretty hidden away on one of the town’s smallest streets, but the smell of the freshly cooked food when you arrive makes the journey worthwhile. As the name suggests, the staff go out of their way here to make your dining experience one of the best around. If you’re after a romantic setting, relaxing atmosphere and a menu to die for this place is not worth missing. (4 Calle Buen Retiro, Old Town Benidorm)
