Architectural Enchantment

Plaza Mayor's cool-looking buildings transport you to 1930s Benidorm. Inspired by the grand shopping arcades of European capitals, the architecture is a feast for the eyes. Intricate details and a sense of history permeate the space.

A Glimpse of the Past, a Modern Twist

While the opulence of bygone days may have faded slightly, Plaza Mayor retains its unique charm.  Some shops cater to budget-conscious shoppers, offering great deals. But hidden amongst them is a treasure – Paco Limon, Benidorm's renowned leather and luggage store, a testament to quality craftsmanship.

In the heart of the square, a sunny terrace beckons. Take a break from exploring, grab a drink or a bite from the nearby restaurant, and soak up the atmosphere. 

A Must-Visit for Discerning Shoppers
