Benidorm Old Town

Benidorm Old Town

When we think of Benidorm we normally think cheap beer, fry up’s and lobster tan’s but right on the doorstep is the Old Town and for those who have not wandered around these thin alleyway streets listening to the Spanish talk away with the aromas from the local Tapas bars this really is a must visit place, it is a world away from the ‘New Town’ and spending an afternoon getting lost in the maze like Old Town is something we all should try at least once, with an array of tapas bars, street front cafes for those who like to people watch, rich in culture and history and the hub for the Spanish fiestas no trip to Benidorm is complete without a visit to the Benidorm Old Town.

Church of St Jamie, Benidorm Old Town

Most of us have walked past here but never ventured inside, I have to admit it took me 6 years before I had a wander inside and I was not disappointed at all, with a little craft stall inside and stunning decor you may find yourself sat on a pew taking it all in and forgetting you was in Benidorm, Benidorm Old Town has a lot to offer and the church is a stunning piece of history and culture and if you find yourself in Benidorm Old Town makes sure you have a pop inside.
