About the city

Corunna (La Coruña in Spanish or A Coruña in Galician) is an attractive old town with diverse selection of hotels. However, Coruña has recently gained in popularity. In 2006, the number of tourists reached half a million, which is more than double of the entire population of Corunna.
Corunna is located in the north west of Spain’s Coast facing the Atlantic Ocean. It has an almost ideal climate with just over 20 degrees in the summer and 10-15 ° C in the winter.

Corunna is similar to most cities of Galicia. The most interesting part is the Cidade Vella (old city) with main buildings from the middle ages. Furthermore, one part of the old town is surrounded by walls which date from the period of ancient Rome. Citizens of Corunna call the old town Cidade, which means the city.
In contrast to the other parts of Spain, cities of Galicia do not have any influence of Islam since this area has never been under the Muslims.

Attractions


Paseo Maritimo is a 19 km long promenade along the ocean; above all it is the longest promenade in Europe. Parallel to the promenade are trams and a path for cyclists. The Roman lighthouse Torre de Hércules and the impressive Aquarium Finisterrae are placed in the middle of the promenade.Finisterrae Aquarium (means-aquarium at the end of the world) is an interactive center whose primary aim is to preserve the ecosystem of the Galician coast. Outdoor pool aquarium is related to the Atlantic Ocean and it helps in monitoring the change of tides. Aquarium was opened in 1999.Torre de Hércules Roman lighthouse is almost 2000 years old, it is located on the tip of  Corunna, about 2.5 km from the city center. In June 2009, Torre de Hércules was placed under the protection of UNESCO.

They are open until 1 or 2 a.m. Be sure to try the local beer Estrella Galicia (Galician stars) with olives in the glass.Glazed balconies are a symbol of Corunna. They had a practical purpose, which was to protect citizens from strong Atlantic winds and rains during the fall and winter. Glazed balconies first appeared in the neighboring port city of Ferro; however they quickly spread to other coastal towns in Galicia.


Beaches

Orzán and Riazor are two main beaches. They are located in the city center next to each other. Total length of them is over 1 km. These two beaches attract surfers all year round due to strong winds.

About Benidorm

Benidorm is placed in the province of Alicante on the Mediterranean coast. It is the most visited Spanish resort. The city has about 68,000 residents and during the summer, it hosts approximately four million tourists. In the beginning of the fifties, Benidorm was a small fishing village which forms the heart of the old town today.Whether you arrive to Benidorm by bus or car, your first impression will be that you are in Rio or Hong Kong. View of Benidorm at night is something that you will certainly not forget for a long time. Due to its illuminated skyscrapers which look as if they are standing in the sea, you will think of Benidorm as a megalopolis with a huge and dirty port. However, it is actually the largest Spanish summer resort, the city where everything is dedicated to tourists.

Beaches


The soul of the city is made of two beautiful sandy beaches - the rising sun beach (Playa Levante) and the sunset beach (Poniente Playa). Both are equally beautiful, albeit they have different sensibilities. If you do not know which one to choose, find the accommodation near Poniente and spend your evenings near Levante. In that way, your dream vacation may come true. During the day you will enjoy the calming sound of waves and Levante will provide you with a rich nightlife.There are also two small city beaches which are separated by a cape. However, that cape is usually called Castello by local inhabitants, although it is just a viewpoint. In the foothill of the old town is Playa del Mar Pas. It is a small, hidden city beach. Younger tourists are the main visitors of this beach. However, you also find “backpack” tourists here, although camping in the city is forbidden.


El Castell de Guadalest


The medieval village of Guadalest is situated just a few kilometers from Benidorm in the mountains. This amazing place has remarkable monuments such as Castello San Jose from the 12th century, baroque Catholic Church, etc... It has only 189 inhabitants, so you can enjoy authentic food and drink here.

Terra Mitica


What you should not miss, even if you are prone to this type of entertainment, is a visit to Terra Mitica. It is located only three miles from the center of Benidorm on the other side of the highway. Terra Mitica is Paramount’s (movie house) amusement park. It opened in 2003 and attracts tourists from all over the Mediterranean coast.
