Platja Racó del Conill

Platja Racó del Conill is a beautiful little place in a small cove with a pebble beach and crystal clear water, perfect for snorkeling. The beach is located in the middle of a nature reserve, but there is parking nearby. There are toilets available and in the summer months, there is a cozy Chiringuito Bar. Picture by Samu Alicante This beach is mainly a nudist beach and has been for over 40 years, so keep that in mind! If you can and want, undress and enjoy one of the most beautiful small beaches of Costa Blanca. If you prefer to keep your clothes on, respect the nudists. T he beach is also frequented by the gay community. The easiest way to get to the beach is by car. From Benidorm take the N332 South, exit onto the CV 767 towards La Vila Joiosa Nord /Villajoyosa Norte.

The disgrace of La Cala Beach in Finestrat

If you have ever visited La Cala beach in Finestrat near Benidorm you will have seen that there is a huge building still in scaffolding just in front of the beach. This building should one day become one of the largest hotels in Benidorm, hotel room-wise, unfortunately, the imposing building was never finished, and what's more, the works were stopped more than 20 years ago due to a legal issue. The original hotel would have too many floors and would therefore block the view of the sea from the buildings behind it. Something that today is otherwise little taken into account when you see the current building frenzy in the city of Benidorm. The land on which the Atrium Beach hotel, as the imposing hotel would be called, is built is owned by one of the largest hotel groups in Benidorm and the Balearic Islands. Picture by Harry Fabel The owner of the company was eventually ordered to demolish the hotel, but after years of legal discussions, the developers were fined hugely and ordered

A walk to La Cruz de Benidorm

You can have one of the most breathtaking views of Benidorm from the top of the Sierra Helada, meaning "Ice Mountain" or often referred to as "The Hill" or "La Cruz de Benidorm". La Cruz de Benidorm is a monument in honor of the Sierra Helada. It was placed on top of the hill in 1961, on a Catholic mission to purify the city of its reputation as a sin city because people were allowed to wear bikinis at the beach. Picture by Harry Fabel With the passage of time, it has changed from an evangelistic symbol to a tourist icon. In 1975 a storm caused that the cross needed to be replaced by a new one. A trip to the cross is highly recommended. Picture by Harry Fabel The road to the cross is fairly steep, but with a little condition, you can be up in an hour. Once there, you have a beautiful view, not only of Benidorm but also of the hinterland, the mountains, orange groves and the so-called "white villages". Picture by Harry Fabel

Planta 20 rooftop bar

The Planta 20 rooftop bar is located on the twentieth floor of Hotel Madeira Centro. This hotel is centrally located between the so-called English Quarter and the Old Town on the Plaza Triangular. You can visit the bar freely and you don't have to be a hotel guest. To reach the bar you walk past the reception to the lifts. For a spectacular entrance, it is best to take the lift opposite the other lifts. This lift is made of glass and hangs alongside the outside of the hotel. This is not an activity for those with a fear of heights, but you have a breathtaking view of the old city when you go up. Picture by Harry Fabel Once at the top, you have the rooftop bar Planta 20 on the left and the restaurant Planta 21 on the right, indeed, there is also a fantastic and romantic restaurant.
