Poniente Promenade, Benidorm

Sunday Morning Walk

Last August saw the opening of Benidorm's new Poniente promenade. The promenade took over two years to complete at a cost of around 20 million euros, much of which was a grant from the EU . The old promenade was in dire need of improvement.

The new prom is a fantastic architectural achievement. The unique design features a wave like undulating wall with steps and ramps down to the beach at various points. The new paving is split into twenty sections of various shades. The width of the new promenade makes it easy for people to walk, jog and roller blade without fear of colliding with anybody. Since opening, the promenade has seen a massive increase in people out for a stroll.

That's where we headed to this morning. It's 15 minutes from our house by car. My wife needed to walk on the flat for a least half and hour and Poniente Promenade is perfect.

The temperature is rising, 22 degrees today with 24 forecast towards the end of the week.

Again we had a pleasant time out, just over an hour, and back well in time for lunch!

Here are some photos:
