Marcus' Model Railway Journey

Marcus Antonius · Jun 9, 2024

This is the view from above the beach at Cala del Mal Pas then looking over the harbour to the view of Poniente beach.

Poniente beach is the longest beach in the resort, more than 3 km long, making it an ideal place to stroll along the shore.

It is characteristically quieter than Levante beach .

View from above the beach at Cala del Mal Pas.

The domed building is the Església de Sant Jaume i Santa Anna, a Catholic church from the 1700's.

The peninsular is the Balcó del Mediterrani a meeting point at a lookout deck with white-stone balustrades, known for beach, town & sunset views.

Parc d'Elx

A small park featuring a fountain & multiple park benches surrounded by palm trees and a multitude of doves.

They love being fed and will land on you.

A view of Benidorm harbour, the small harbour of Benidorm stands on a promontory located between the two main beaches, the Levante and Poniente.

This was the original site of the city, a primitive fishing village overlooked by the church of San Jaime.

Another view of Parc d'Elx - there was a guy painting the blue edging of the concrete at the time so you couldn't really get nearer.

It was still early for the Nova Cocktail Bar opening so we had a drink near here.

Check out Cleo's disability scooter.

My photo......

I took this shot as I wanted to incorporate the church in the background and that splash of colour from the Spanish flag.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 12, 2024

We made it to the NOVA Cocktail Bar.

They had a special offer on two cocktails for €12 - so I had 2 'Pina Coladas' and Cleo had 2 'S** on the Beach'.

Very good cocktails.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 12, 2024

The NOVA has only been open for about 10 weeks - so we knew we had to try it.

Before we left we tried......... jush

one more cocktail..............

Can't remember the name of it.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 13, 2024

Strolling back to the 'New Town' - this is 'Chaplins Bar' - we've never been there, can get very busy and the shows they put on are not what we're looking for.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 13, 2024

This is a new one to us..........

Looking forward to trying their wares. :drinkingsong:

It's on the Calle Gerona, AKA the 'British Strip'.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 13, 2024

This unfortunate loco was sticking out of one end of 'The Railway'.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 13, 2024

This place is under construction..........

It's being revamped, it used to be called 'The Beachcomber', no idea what it going to called now.

It's on the 'English Square' just off the Calle Gerona.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 13, 2024

I love the Tiger head design.........

Marcus Antonius · Jun 15, 2024

I'm gonna try this pub, looks interesting.

It's the Surprise Attack Bar at the Av. de Filipinas, 10, 03503 Benidorm.

Marcus Antonius · Jun 16, 2024

I'll have to have a closer look at this Spitfire...........

Just down the street from the 'Surprise Attack' is the 'Outback Bar' - I wonder if Cleo could entice the crocodile down?

On the Calle Gerona, 49, 03503 Benidorm, Alicante is 'The Silver Dollar' pub.
