We got back home yesterday - and are all very miserable!
Had two weeks at the Terralta Apartments and had a fantastic time. Went to Benidorm for the first time last year and had to go back this year as there were so many things we wanted to do.
We had a day out at Altea and Albir, lazing on the beach, swimming in the sea and walked up through the beautiful streets to the Church. Had lunch at one of the bars along the sea front.
Also walked up to the Cross very early one morning. I'd seen this on Sanji's videos and it was as stunning as I thought it would be. The views from the top are spectacular, but do take plenty of water with you if you go, its quite a walk, but a lovely one at that.
Had a walk along the beach to Fenestrat which was lovely. Walked back in the sea!
We ate Tapa's with the Spanish on 'Tapa's Alley'. A wonderful experience!
We went to the Wednesday market, well worth a visit, some really good bargains to be had. Bought a lovely pair of sandals for 3 Euros!
We had some lovely meals out, both in the old and new town. We had quiet nights, lively nights, late nights, went to Rockerfella's one evening and saw a brilliant Scottish Lady Comedien, ate at the Queens, Sherrys, India Gate, Duke of Wellington, Lucciono's ( a lovely Italian Restaurant with a balcony overlooking the sea in the old town, Antonio's (overlooking Dove Park). Unfortunately, our youngest lad isn't very adventurous with his food, so it did limit us to where we ate. We danced the night away at the Original Vincents, and also had some very chill out evenings at a bar overlooking the sea, a wonderful place called Aqualina (I think!). Its just down from the Church in the old town and is the most amazing place where you can sit on the balcony and see all over the Levante side.
And obviously, some very lazy days just relaxing around the pool.
Didn't think we could enjoy the holiday any better than we did last year - but we did.
Home now, washing machine running permanently, cloudy skies and I want to go back!
Benidorm has something for everyone - and is definitely not Blackpool in the Sun as some people refer to it. Let anyone dare say that to me when I get back to work!
Will be looking out for when the flights come out again - we're so tempted to go back again for a third time!
Best Regards
