Foso del terror 6

Foso del terror 6, Benidorm

 benidormone Says:  This is a special expierience. The authentic pit of the terror in the Castle Conde de Alfaz. Its not really dangourous, but its made very well and the actors are great. You feel like beeing in a horror movie. It opens at midnight and that makes it even more scary.

Cala Finestrat

Cala Finestrat, Benidorm

 solopes Says:  A few kilometers west of central Benidorm, this beautiful beach offers the same quality of water, in a more calm ambiance. And, of course, the animation of Benidorm is only minutes away. In my first time in Benidorm, I choose a hotel in Altea, where we could really sleep. In...
