Where's Hot June - Benidorm Coastline

The Costa Blanca is one of the most popular and family-friendly resorts in Spain. With its warm temperatures and highly-rated beaches, a holiday in the Costa Blanca is the ideal budget getaway for anyone, and has an attraction to suit every taste. While some may be content topping up their tans on the beach, children can amuse themselves at one of the area’s water parks and the more energetic can travel to the forests of Sierra de Espuña Nature Park to enjoy the hiking trails or rent mountain bikes. Even though all-inclusive packages are very popular, it is worth venturing out to a local restaurant at least once as the region’s fresh seafood and paella are delicious.
