A guide to Benidorm

Here you can find the perfect watering hole to enjoy a sun downer or two. This part of Benidorm really has everything a holidaymaker needs from beach front bars, restaurants, supermarkets, banks and souvenir shops galore. It's around this area that you can find the infamous 'Egg and Bacon Alley' - you can actually get a full English breakfast for as little as 1 Euro.. a perfect way to cure a holiday hangover!
