A Tourist Meeting Point
The Balcón is one of Benidorm’s most visited sites due to its historical and scenic value. It offers a 360-degree panorama that allows you to contemplate both the sunrise over Levante beach and the sunset over Poniente. Additionally, concerts, cultural proposals, and special events are organized there, turning this corner into a lively and dynamic place.
Its pedestrian access makes it especially pleasant for walking, enjoying the sea breeze, taking photographs, or simply stopping to contemplate the horizon. The adjoining square and the stairs that lead down to the sea complete the charming and varied route.
