We arrive in Benidorm Saturday, and was looking for a day out.
Is Torrevieja worth a look, and can you get there from Benidorm
Thanking if you can help
Mistie
Day trip destinations with direct transport links from Benidorm include Alicante, Valencia, Altea, Albir, Calpe, Denia and Guadalest.

Is there much to see and do.

We are staying near the indooe market.
Cheers

The train journey is quite interesting and scenic, but staying near the indoor market, you are not very convenient for the station. You would need to take a bus or taxi to the station. Likewise in Alicante, the train station is a little bit of a walk (or ride) out of the main city centre.
You may find the bus more convenient, you can catch that on Avenida Europa at Calle Gerona, and it takes you into Alicante city centre.
(I will edit the title of this topic to attract more attention)

Hi Mistie ... we probably have a few threads about Alicante, but this one will give you some info ....

At the end of the Harbour there is a terminal where all the immigrants arrive and depart. I mention this because it does not look like the place it actually is. We went exploring and found ourselves inside this place which, well what can I can, well it was a real eye opener, but it felt like we had stepped into the middle of Hell. It was dirty, dingy and very smelly, and it did not feel at all safe, so make sure you don't make the same mistake my family and I did.
But I would certainly recommend a Day Trip to Alicante. You can do this for *free* if you book a Green Tour Blanket Trip, but your time will be limited there to a couple of hours which is not really long enough to see everything of interest and certainly not enough time to explore all the shops. Best thing would be to make your own way via Train or maybe hire a car?
