Tiny shops selling local crafts are situated amongst the many top class restaurants. There is also a new impressive arts centre and concert hall providing a wealth of entertainment and cultural activities. At the seafront, there are a series of shingle and pebble beaches and it’s on the promenade where the huge Tuesday market is held.

Benidorm
In 1953, Benidorm was a tiny fishing village unheard of in the UK. The local mayor travelled 8 hours on his scooter to Madrid to visit the dictator General Franco. His mission was to lift the ban on bikinis! Once agreed the mayor went home to start building one of the most successful tourist resorts in the world.

Now Benidorm is capable of taking 5 million visitors per year. The distinctive skyscrapers are the towns trademark, yet a 20 minute drive inland can take you into some of the most beautiful mountainous countryside Spain has to offer.

San Juan

Its a fast, reliable and gloriously cheap service and the views are breathtaking, passing through countless towns & villages, Villajoyosa, Altea, Calpe,etc. You can visit a different village every day, shop at the colourful markets, relax on the endless beaches. The spectacular Theme Park 'Terra Mitica' is also just a short trip away by car or train, so if thrills are your passion, or shopping, just hop on the air conditioned train. In the summer the trains run all night so you can forget the car and truly relax - with a very large glass of Sangria!
