There is a path with signs that allow you to arrive without problems, and this route can take between 30 and 60 minutes; it all depends on where you start and your speed, with the longest route starting on the promenade. Most of the journey is on an asphalt road and the views improve with each meter you climb.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you prefer to get a little less tired, you can leave the car at some point closer to the Cruz de Benidorm and do the rest of the way on foot, since access is restricted to residents and people with reduced mobility. We recommend parking along Calle Sierra Dorada or Avenida de Montecarlo; from that area it is practically impossible to find parking and the journey on foot takes about 30 minutes. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f775b6a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f775b6a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87e07ea\" data-id=\"87e07ea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fc0e80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-google_maps\" data-id=\"0fc0e80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"google_maps.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed\">\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=cruz%20de%20benidorm&#038;t=m&#038;z=13&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"cruz de benidorm\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-label=\"cruz de benidorm\"\n\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-011c453 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"011c453\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f950e7f\" data-id=\"f950e7f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45519d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"45519d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What can be seen from the viewpoint<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61e8ab7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61e8ab7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the top of the Cruz de Benidorm you can enjoy clear views over the entire city of Benidorm and the sea, an even more fantastic panorama if we take into account that this city has one of the most impressive skylines in Europe.

Choose the first hours of the morning and the last hours of the afternoon to escape the hottest moments, and the views are also more spectacular at sunrise and sunset (watching the sunset from the Mirador de la Cruz de Benidorm is priceless).
