One of the most iconic landmarks of Benidorm is the Benidorm Island, also
known as Peacock Island. This uninhabited island is located a few miles
from the shore and provides a dramatic centrepiece to the seascape.
In 1954, Pedro Zaragoza Orts, the young Mayor of Benidorm, created the
Plan General de Ordenación, a city building plan that ensured every building
would have an area of leisure land. This plan has helped to prevent the
excesses of cramped construction seen in other areas of Spain. Benidorm is
the only city in Spain that still adheres to this rigid rule.
The streets in Benidorm are mostly named after places, such as Avenida de
Uruguay, Avenida del Mediterráneo, and Calle Pekín. Avenida del Mediterráneo
is a wide avenue that crosses Levante and links the old town with
Rincón. Avenida Europa crosses Levante at right angles, linking the western
city limits with the Levante beach.
Benidorm is well-connected to the rest of Spain, with a railway line operated
by FGV. The section between Alicante and Benidorm is now converted
to tram operation, with trams running at least every half an hour.
Trains run hourly from Benidorm to Dénia, connecting with the trams at
Benidorm station.
In conclusion, Benidorm is a vibrant and exciting town that has something
to offer for everyone. Its unique character and attractions make it a popular
tourist destination for people from all over the world. Whether you're looking
for a relaxing beach holiday, a cultural experience, or a lively nightlife,
Benidorm has it all.
