Poniente
Promenade
Last
August saw the opening of Benidorm's new Poniente promenade.
The promenade took over two years to complete at a cost of
around 20 million euros, much of which was a grant from the
EU . The old promenade was in dire need of
improvement.
The new prom
is a fantastic architectural achievement. The unique
design features a wave like undulating wall with
steps and ramps down to the beach at various points.
The new paving is split into twenty sections of various
shades. The width of the new promenade makes it easy for
people to walk, jog ride segway's and roller blade without
fear of colliding with somebody. The bars opposite
which managed to survive the two years of upheaval are
now in line for a much needed boost to their businesses.
Since opening, the promenade has seen a massive
increase in people out for a stroll.
