BENIDORM OLD TOWN | The ultimate FULL TOUR of Old Town Benidorm

BENIDORM OLD TOWN | The ultimate full tour of Old Town Benidorm Come with me as we explore the fantastic Old Town of Benidorm, including Tapas Alley, the shops, the restaurants, bars, hotels, tourist attractions and more. We'll head from Levante Beach through the Old Town to Poniente Beach, The Harbour, The Mirador del Castell - Balcó de la Mediterrània and everything else we can find. Benidorm's Old Town, or "El Castell" as the locals affectionately call it, stands as a charming contrast to the modern skyscrapers that define the rest of the city. Perched on a small hill that juts out into the Mediterranean Sea, this historic area offers a glimpse into Benidorm's past as a quiet fishing village before its transformation into a bustling tourist destination. The narrow, winding cobblestone streets are lined with colorful buildings adorned with vibrant flowers, creating a picturesque and inviting atmosphere. Here, visitors can wander through a maze of traditional Spanish charm, discovering quaint cafes, bustling tapas bars, and unique boutique shops tucked away in hidden corners. The air is filled with a blend of local life and the relaxed holiday spirit, making it a delightful place to soak in the authentic Spanish ambiance. One of the most iconic landmarks in Benidorm Old Town is the Church of San Jaime and Santa Ana. Situated at the highest point of the Old Town on Canfali hill, this 18th-century neoclassical church is easily recognizable by its two striking blue-tiled domes. Dedicated to Benidorm's patron saint, Saint James, and his grandmother, Saint Anne, the church holds significant historical and religious importance for the local community. Inside, visitors can find a revered statue of the Virgin of the Suffrage, the city's beloved patron saint, whose miraculous discovery at sea in 1740 is a central part of Benidorm's traditions. The church's simple white facade and the intricate frescoes within its vault, recently restored, make it a must-see for those exploring the Old Town's cultural heritage. Another unmissable attraction in Benidorm Old Town is the Balcony of the Mediterranean, or "Mirador del Castell." This stunning viewpoint is located on the site of the old 14th-century castle that once defended the city. Today, it serves as a glorious viewing platform offering breathtaking panoramic views of Benidorm's coastline. From this vantage point, visitors can see the vast expanse of both Levante and Poniente beaches stretching out on either side, with the modern cityscape providing a dramatic backdrop to the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. The white-painted stairway leading down towards the ocean adds to the picturesque scene, making it a perfect spot for taking memorable holiday photos and simply admiring the beauty of Benidorm. For those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture and flavors, a visit to Tapas Alley, also known as Calle de la Virgen, is essential. This lively street is renowned throughout Spain for its vibrant tapas culture. Here, visitors can hop from bar to bar, sampling a wide array of delicious local tapas and enjoying the social atmosphere. The tradition of sharing these small, flavorful dishes is a quintessential Spanish experience, and Tapas Alley in Benidorm Old Town offers an authentic and enjoyable way to partake in it. Whether you're trying patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo, or a variety of other regional specialties, the bustling energy and the delicious food make Tapas Alley a highlight of any visit to Benidorm's historic heart.
