Run up the Montgó mountain

One very popular activity in Alicante is running. There are several popular running routes. The beautiful beaches and mountains of the Alicante region are ideal outdoor running tracks. You can choose from running along the beaches, which offer flat routes for fast and slower running, or the harder challenge of mountain trails. Either way, you'll be rewarded with views of spectacular natural scenes.

Benidorm

You can start with a gentle beach run along Benidorm's famous beaches, with the skyscrapers forming a backdrop with the glittering Mediterranean Sea on your left and the island of Benidorm on your right.

The route starts at Poniente beach at the southern end near Calle la Cala. The ideal time is at sunrise or just before sunset when the area is less crowded and the weather will be cooler, especially in the summer months.
