Benidorm, your holiday destination #1 // Benidorm, las mejores vacaciones

A drone overflew over Benidorm. Fine golden sand, transparent waters and beaches that are clean and cared for throughout the year are a trademark of the Benidorm seafront. At its north end, two small coves of sand and rock are very suitable for diving and for those who like to swim alone. Un drone sobrevuela Benidorm, teniendo unas imágenes fantásticas a vista de pájaro! Una arena fina y dorada, unas aguas transparentes y unas playas que presentan un aspecto limpio y cuidado todo el año son los signos de identidad de la fachada marítima de Benidorm. En su extremo norte, dos pequeñas calas de arena y roca resultan muy adecuadas para el buceo y para los que gustan de un baño solitario. Tras ellas, comienza el bullicioso paseo marítimo de la popular Playa de Levante, que a sus completos servicios suma el atractivo de mostrar una animada imagen durante todo el año.

Banjul

The low-rise Gambian capital might not be as advanced of a visitor hub as one would, perhaps, expect from a city of such national significance, but it certainly boasts some raw appeal contained within its pulsating and often rather hectic streets. Beyond Banjul proper lies the sprawling Serekunda — Gambia's most populous area — and the vacationer-favoured coastal settlements of Kololi, Bakau, Koto and Fajara.
