An Adventure Weekend in Benidorm
Benidorm Skyline
Benidorm may have a reputation in the UK for sun, sand and…er…sangria, but the area around it has plenty to offer the adventurous traveller. Here’s just one example…
4-Wheel Drive Around Benidorm
You don’t need to travel far beyond Benidorm’s skyscrapers to find some open space. After driving for only about ten minutes with Marco Polo, a local 4WD company, we were bouncing right the way up the side of the Sierra Cortina mountain, surrounded by unexpectedly vicious palm fronds.
From the top, you get a great view of the Benidorm skyline, a kind of “Manhattan on the Beach.”
An Adventure Weekend in Benidorm
The return drive passes through traditional white-washed towns, with windows decorated with ornate metallic bars. There’s also an optional excursion to a waterfall, but it’s heavily adapted for tourists and occasionally enhanced with artificial water supplies, so if you’re the adventurous type, you might decide to give it a miss.
You can book a trip for a half or a full day – or if you really want to stretch your legs, you can hike up the mountain yourself. If your driver’s licence is clean enough, you can even drive yourself.
