Benissa
Sea, culture and nature are all waiting for you in this charming town in Alicante. Spend your holidays in Benissa and see it all for yourself.

Benissa has a stunning coastline that attracts many visitors, although it is also true that it makes for a perfect holiday destination whatever the time of year. Whether it be the old quarter or the beautiful natural surroundings, this town, the largest in Marina Alta, is one destination you won't want to miss.

Book one of our cheap trips to Benissa and visit one of the best preserved medieval old quarters in the area. In Placeta de l'Església Vella, you can enjoy the remnants of the old medieval church-fortress, but what is really striking is how old buildings are given new lives. Examples include the Torres-Orduña Palace, now a cultural centre and library, and the old houses of Pere Bigot and the Andrés family, which are now home to the University Campus. The Casa Museo Abargues (Abargues House Museum), an 18th century mansion that preserves the furniture and tiles of the period, is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding examples.

If you’re looking to complement your holiday with a bit of nature, there are various hiking trails with different levels of difficulty for both novice and expert adventurers. Next to the coast is the ecological promenade, which runs along the coast with interesting information panels. Its coasts are perfect for enjoying water sports or scuba diving. Its crystalline, shallow waters are home to Posidonia seagrass, as well as many different species of animals. And, of course, it has beaches to suit all tastes: La Fustera, with its fine sand, Cala Pinets, a rock beach, Cala Baladrar, where they offer live music, and La Llobella, the wildest beach of all of them. Our package deals to Benissa will allow you to enjoy all this at unbelievable prices.

The beaches of Calpe and Moraira are easy to reach from here (car needed) but you are away from the hustle and bustle and high rise buildings of Calpe.

An old historic town. Found a great Spanish bar. Good food. Noisy. Just how it should be.
