Sol de Poniente, Brutalist building complex in Benidorm, Spain

Sol de Poniente is a pair of residential towers of 33 and 28 floors, 112 and 93 metres tall, on the Via Parque about 300 metres from Poniente beach. Their semicircular front is clad in sandstone and faces the sea, while the rear faces north. Each typical floor holds seven flats: four of one bedroom, two of two and one of three.

Sol de Poniente consists of two towers of 33 and 28 floors, 112 and 93 metres high, on the Via Parque about 300 metres from Poniente beach. Sol de Poniente 2 is the taller of the pair, five floors above its sibling, though from a distance they look almost like twins because the shorter tower stands on a promontory. Each typical floor holds seven apartments: four with one bedroom, two with two and one with three.

The two towers stand on the Via Parque, about 300 metres from Poniente beach, in the area of Benidorm that grew toward the beach in the second half of the 20th century. Each typical floor holds seven apartments: four with one bedroom, two with two and one with three. All living rooms face the sea, and the staggered terraces give each home more privacy.

The complex is located close to beaches and has good access to public transportation for visitors. The raw concrete surfaces can become very hot in the sun, so shade in early morning or late afternoon hours is more comfortable.

The two towers differ in height: Sol de Poniente 2 has 33 floors and reaches 112 metres, while its sibling has 28 floors and 93 metres. From a distance they look almost like twins because the shorter one stands on a promontory. Each typical floor holds seven apartments: four with one bedroom, two with two and one with three.
