The Cerro Canfali headland that is veined by narrow lanes and alleys, converges in the light-filled Balcón del Mediterráneo
belvedere, whitewashed and decorated with blue tiles, an ornamental motif repeated along the balustrade that graces stretches
of the seafront of Benidorm.
The
Balcon del Mediterraneo
is situated on top of the rock separating the two beaches of
Benidorm
was the fortress built to defend the people from the Algerian pirates raids during the XIV, XV and XVI Centuries.
Afterwards the castle was abandoned and today visitors may only see the remains of the walls on the rocks of the viewpoint
which is also known as "The Balcony of the Mediterranean".
