The skyscrapers of Benidorm are spectacular - a mini-Manhattan on the Mediterranean. Here are my top six places to catch some amazing views.

El Castell de Confrides – top castle of the Costa Blanca
The ruined Castell de Confrides is the highest castle in all of Alicante province, at over 1,000 metres. The views over the Guadalest valley are stunning.
Walking the giant cliffs of the Sierra Helada
The Sierra Helada cliffs offer some of the best sea views on the entire Costa Blanca, plus an unbeatable panorama of the towers of Benidorm.
The turquoise lake of Guadalest
The Guadalest lake supplies water to all those thirsty tourist towns on the Costa Blanca. It's a beautiful walk too! And it's nice and easy!
The clifftop castle of Granadella
The ruined castle of Granadella is perched on the cliffs above a beautiful little beach, with great views up and down the Costa Blanca.
Walking Alicante’s coast – Cabo de la Huerta
A beautiful shoreline stroll from Albufereta out to the lighthouse at Cabo de la Huerta with great views across the bay to Alicante.
El Forat de Bernia – a tunnel through a mountain!
El Forat de Bernia is unique. A naturally-formed tunnel that takes you right through the top of a mountain. And the views are sensational!
Walking up to the spectacular Elche Dam
You're never far from cool, fresh running water on the walk up to the Elche Dam. And there's an amazing waterfall at the dam itself!
Amazing clifftop views from El Morro de Toix
Catch some magnificent panoramas from El Morro de Toix - a 200 metre high clifftop between Calpe and Altea on the Costa Blanca
The Mascarat gorge, haunt of highwaymen
The walk into the Mascarat gorge near Calpe on the Costa Blanca is spectacular, with three bridges towering above you. And it used to be the haunt of highwaymen!
