Things to do in October
- In dry weather, the Balcón del Mediterráneo offers coastal views. The upper terrace avoids the steep steps down to the lower section.
- The Poniente promenade runs from Elche Park beside the beach. Its colourful curves offer a different view of Benidorm from the narrow streets of the old centre.
- For a rainy spell, the Boca del Calvari museum on Paseo de la Carretera is an indoor option. Exhibitions change, so the current theme and visiting hours are worth checking before a visit.
