🇪🇸 Benidorm: Alicante’s Hidden Gem! 📸

Skip just the city center—30 mins by car 🚗 from Alicante, Benidorm is a photography paradise and absolute treasure! 🍽️ Must-Try Restaurants 🦐 Las Gaviotas – A local hole-in-the-wall with insanely good fried seafood. Five of us shared a 2-person platter + 3 extra dishes → €15/person, stuffed! 🍝 La Oficina del Gusto – Authentic Italian! Seafood pasta is a must, and babà dessert (rum-soaked cake) is a game-changer. €15/person. 🍳 The Brunch Box – Huge portions! Serves British, French & American breakfasts. The "Big Boy" English breakfast is chef’s kiss (but 3 dishes for 2 people was too much!). €25/person. 🌊 Adventure & Beach Fun 🛥️ Jet skis: €100/30 mins (2 pax) | €180/hour 🍌 Banana boat, parasailing – Book early at beach kiosks! ⚠️ Swimming warning: Waves are crazy strong lately—hard to even stand! But the flat, gentle-slope beach is perfect on calm days. 🌙 Nightlife Vibes When the sun sets, Benidorm transforms! 🍹 "British Street" & beach clubs buzz like a night market by 11 PM. ✨ We chose Urban Beach for cocktails—creative drinks, killer vibe! #TravelSpain #Alicante #Benidorm #Valencia #HiddenGems #FoodieHeaven #BeachLife #Nightlife
