Benidorm

The city extends along five kilometers of coastline with three main beaches: Levante, Poniente, and Mal Pas, each offering distinct characteristics and facilities.

After receiving its charter from Admiral Bernat de Sarria in 1325, Benidorm established itself as a settlement that withstood multiple pirate attacks through centuries.

The Festival of Moors and Christians features traditional parades, costumes, and reenactments that showcase the historical interactions between these two communities in the region.

Benidorm maintains a network of sailing schools, water sports facilities, and diving centers distributed along its beaches, operating throughout the entire calendar year.

The Serra Gelada nature reserve presents limestone cliffs rising 300 meters above sea level, creating a natural barrier that influences local weather patterns.
