The best spots to photograph in Benidorm

July and August are the most wanted months of the year, as they are mainly the months to go on holiday, to disconnect from the routine and finally to take a rest.

Everyone likes to enjoy their favorite places with friends and family, but we also love, and more today, to remember and to show off those days of leisure in Benidorm and so deserved fun.

And what better way to revive those moments than through photographs? It is very nice to show the places you've visited, and the experiences that you have lived when you return from your holidays.

Even more today, where everyone has a camera on their mobile phone.

From the Camping Villamar we advise you to visit the most beautiful places in Benidorm, where a few snapshots will not just stay in our minds, but also can be shown the rest of the world.

These are those sites that you cannot miss if you visit our city, and that are sure to fall in love with.

1. One of the most emblematic sightseeing places is Benidorm island. This island also called the Island of Journalists is located in line with Punta Canfali, that divides Benidorm into two beaches: Levante and Poniente.

It is not allowed to spend the night there, but you can spend the day and enjoy the incredible views and restaurant. There are several companies that allow you to observe the seabed of the island, and it can also be explored on foot, enjoying the beautiful views that offers the Bay of Benidorm.

2. Another place we cannot leave without visiting is the promontory lookout of Benidorm. Located in an outgoing seafront area of the city, this viewpoint gives us incredible views of the sea and the beaches there.

Pentagon-like shaped and with a large surface , it allows us to go with your family and friends, and take us some photographs with spectacular views.

3. The Benidorm Cross is a site that only a few tourists know. Located in the top of the “Sierra Helada”, this place offers a panoramic view over the city and all its skyline.

This cross was placed here in 1961 in a Catholic mission whose purpose it was to redeem the city of its reputation as a sinner.

4. If what we like, besides photography, is also enjoying a walk, we will show different landscapes that are worth taking photographs of, the perfect plan is to make the route of “the antennas”, so called because it ends at the antennas of the city and the Albir lighthouse.

This path is located on the top of the mountain of the Sierra Helada, it has many ups and downs and shows a very different perspective of Benidorm with huge, jagged cliffs and sea background.

5. Finally, and as an essential view of the Skyline of Benidorm, is highly recommended to go up to the terrace of an hotel or campsite in Benidorm.

The Villamar and Villasol campsites in Benidorm, offer the best facilities, and a solid experience, covering the needs of our visitors. That’s why we decided to make a list of tips on what to put in the suitcase as a good camper:

Toiletries: basic, of course. Gel, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush ... and a light towel! A good camper does not need much more, and limiting the amount of luggage, weight products will be significantly reduced.

Skin protection: cream with a good solar factor and a mosquito repellent are two key products in the life of a good camper. Without them there is a risk of suffering pecks or burns that can spoil idyllic days of fun.

Basic First Aid Kit: camping must continue with regular medication, if taken, but also should be included painkillers and anti-inflammatory, an antihistamine, iodine or hydrogen peroxide to disinfect and, of course, gauzes , bandages and medical tape.

Yes, it is important to note that medications should be stored in a cool place, if possible, closed and out of reach of children. It is also essential to always wear sunscreen and mosquito repellent, to avoid dangerous burns and nasty peck.

Technological devices: a mobile phone is, today, the form of contact with the world, along with a powerful camera of photos and videos to remember, a radio and a music storage system.

Therefore it is essential not to forget your charger at home. In addition, other devices are useful as GPS, iPad or electronic book.

For those not traveling with Smartphone should consider buying batteries for the radio, camera and, of course, for the flashlight. Another must is a compass, though ... you must know how to use it!

Documentation: before leaving trip is advisable to check the identity card, passport (if you go abroad) and the health card are in force, and to be included in the backpack when you go to camping.

A wallet with some credit card is safe, but in the countryside it is difficult to use, since many establishments still not allowed. It is therefore advisable to carry cash divided in different areas of luggage.

Clothing: what to pack is a function of what each one chooses, you cannot miss swimwear, outerwear (in the field it’s usually cool), comfortable walking shoes, flip-flops for the pool and showers, short and long pants and shirts that do not need ironing.

Also, to mark clothes can be a great idea, if it will be a laundry or hang them in a public area. One trick when packing is to put the clothes making "rolls" with it, since it will take up less space in your backpack and wrinkle less.

Accessories: sunglasses cannot be overlooked, and a hat to protect the head during excursions. In
addition, a sarong or large scarf is very useful because it can be used to improvise a shawl, a scarf, or a rudimentary tablecloth. In case it rains, it never hurts to include a raincoat or collapsible umbrella ... for summer storms!

Shoes: is the most uncomfortable thing to keep in a suitcase, because they never fit ... so our solution is easy, get a pair of shoes (as comfortable as possible), and flip-flops for the pool.

And to be most farsighted, a good camper always leaves a small space in your suitcase for possible purchases or souvenirs, because in the end, they’re always there.
