Things to Do  

Beach/Sea front

Beach/Sea front, Albir

 mickeyboy07 Says:  A long main road runs along side the beach were there are plenty of shops,bars and restaurants and a market on most days.A quieter area than the centre of town but lively enough at night.

Transportation  

Excellent busses

Albir was only a short distance away from benidorm which we visited twice. The bus takes about 25mins and runs about every 15 mins. It went to another town first which had a market on on a friday but we didnt go there.
The bus costs 1.25 each and under 5 were free i think. The bus goes to benidorm one way and altea the other and they are both number 10.
We went to terra mitcia and caught the 10 into benidorm then swapped buses to go to terramitica, which also cost 1,25 on that bus to. They were air conditioned and i found them a lot pleasenter than english busses.
