Altea & Benidorm Day Trip from Valencia — Old Town, Blue Domes and Beach

Altea and Benidorm: the prettiest village and the most iconic city on the Costa Blanca

Two sides of the Costa Blanca in one day: Altea, an artists’ village of white houses and cobbled streets crowned by the blue domes of its church, and Benidorm, with its skyline of skyscrapers, its viewpoints and two of the most famous beaches in the Mediterranean.

Altea: old town and blue domes

More than two hours to get lost in Altea old town: the square of Our Lady of Consuelo church, the viewpoint over the bay, craft shops and bougainvillea-covered corners made for photos.

Benidorm: viewpoint, promenade and beach

Just 20 minutes away is Benidorm: climb up to the Castle viewpoint between Levante and Poniente beaches, walk the seafront promenade and take a swim at Levante beach.
