Things to do in Benidorm when it rains: plans and ideas

Benidorm has a lot to see and do. And a rainy day doesn’t have to stop you, does it? That’s why we wanted to put together the following set of free time activities for you. Going shopping, eating out with the family or meeting friends are some of the things you can do in Benidorm when raining.

Going shopping

Have you ever walked through downtown Benidorm? If you’ve never visited the old town, you’ll be surprised by its cobbled streets full of clothes, jewellery and craft shops. And if you don’t fancy going shopping, you can always enjoy tasting a good pintxo and a glass of wine in the famous Zona de los Vascos. This plan will probably make your wait a lot more bearable.

On the contrary, if you are keen on malls, in La Marina shopping centre you will find hundreds of shops, restaurants and parks for children. Without a doubt, free workshops for children, watching a movie or playing bowling are excellent plans to do on rainy days. Especially if you go with children or teenagers. And remember, if you don’t feel comfortable driving in the rain, local buses have a stop at this shopping mall.

To choose between the cinema and the bowling alley

Why choose only one plan when both can be done?

Watching a movie

Popcorn and a film is a safe bet on a rainy day. There are three cinemas in Benidorm. The cinemas placed in La Marina shopping centre we’ve just mentioned, the IMF cinemas and the Colci cinema, both in the centre and in Rincón de Loix.

Going Bowling

In the same way, to play bowling is a really fun plan when it’s raining outside. There are two options to play a match. The Ozone bowling alley, which is placed in the city centre, and the Bowling Paradise that is located in La Marina mall.
