4 ‘Must Visit’ Restaurants in Benidorm

Especially with the British, Benidorm is an incredibly popular holiday destination  and has been for a number of years. A steady stream of returning and first time holiday makers pack their bags and head off to the sunny Spanish coast for a week or two each year.

Benidorm has been hailed as party central and it’s easy to see why with it’s endless supply of bars catering for all tastes but more lately it has also reinvented itself to cater for a crowd who are maybe looking for a little more of an upmarket experience. Cocktail bars and quirky terraces are now also the norm and the quality of restaurants available will not leave these new visitors feeling left out at all.
