You step off the air‑conditioned minivan onto a strip of limestone sun and the sea’s distant hum — Benidorm’s beaches stretch west and east, apartment towers rising like an urban cliff behind the sand. A short walk through the Old Town’s narrow alleys reveals tapas bars, tiled plazas and the Balcón del Mediterráneo where the water dares you to look farther.
