I was surprised as this was my first time here. Benidorm is quite built up with high rise hotels and apartments but it has a nice waterfront and is pretty clean too. Only New York has more high rise buildings than Benidorm.

Slap bang in the middle of the two beaches you will find the old town, which has some very interesting bars amongst its winding streets!

That's quite a poetic, scenic picture you took of Polop (unlike the less-than-scenic second one of the nativity in the window, hahaha)!

Very nice, Nigel. The paella and the baguette with Serrano ham sound wonderful! Pizza seems to be a worldwide thing nowadays... :)

After looking at your Benidorm page, I am rethinking my reluctance to travel to a highly touristic, commercialized Benidorm. You found some great things to see a do! Nice photos.
