"What a nice place to sit and people watch. We chose one of the little bars to enjoy coffee and people watch. Its quite a vibrant little communal are, where everyone seems to congregate and chat. There are your mainstream fast food places nearby, as well as smaller independent local and ex-pat run places as well."

"Plaza triangular at the moment is going through a major refurb,it is a total mess but when finished will be amaizing,has taken a long time to get this far but I don't think the actual triangular will be that much longer all thought they are doing work all around it.
The refurbishment is almost done and looks amaizing,now it is almost finished and looks fantastic,they are on the last stage, it is going to be absolutely fantastic,there will be nothing else like it in Benidorm, 10/10 to Benidorm town hall ...
Now it is finished and looks amazing 👏"
