A Stroll Through History and Culture

As a family travel writer, I am always on the lookout for experiences that blend education with fun, and the Benidorm Tour was a perfect fit. Our journey began at the heart of Benidorm, where the charming streets of the Old Town welcomed us with open arms. The white-washed houses and cobbled streets were like stepping back in time, and my children were fascinated by the stories our guide shared about the town’s history.

We wandered through the maze of quaint shops and boutiques, each offering a unique glimpse into the local culture. The highlight for my kids was the El Mirador de la Punta del Canfali, a lookout point that offered breathtaking views of the sea. It was a perfect spot for a family photo, and the kids loved imagining what life was like in the old castle that once stood there.

Discovering Hidden Gems

Our guide was a treasure trove of knowledge, and she led us to some of Benidorm’s hidden gems that we might have missed on our own. One such gem was the Parque d’Elche, a serene urban park filled with palm trees and a beautiful fountain. The kids enjoyed running around and exploring, while I took a moment to relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

We also visited L’Aiguera Park, a stunning neoclassical park that separates the old city from the modern buildings. The park’s amphitheaters were a hit with my children, who loved imagining themselves performing on stage. Our guide shared stories about the various cultural events held there, and it was easy to see why this park is a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.

Embracing Local Life

One of the most rewarding aspects of the Benidorm Tour was the opportunity to connect with the local way of life. Our guide was more than happy to share her personal experiences and recommendations for family-friendly activities in Benidorm. We learned about the best places to eat, shop, and explore, and even got some insider tips on where to find the best churros in town.

The tour concluded with a leisurely stroll along Poniente Beach, where we enjoyed the gentle sea breeze and the stunning views of the coastline. It was a perfect way to end our day, and my children were already asking when we could return to Benidorm.

This tour was a delightful blend of culture, history, and local charm, and it left us with memories that we will cherish for years to come. If you’re planning a family trip to Benidorm, I highly recommend this tour as a way to immerse yourself in the heart and soul of this magical city.
