Alicante Tram, Valencian Country, Spain

4.5 (3.971 reviews) Spent Ranking #11 in Valencian Country Trams

Beats driving and struggling to find parking

Yesterday we took the newly renovated tram line from Teulada to Benidorm. You can also cross the line and continue along the coast to Alicante. It cost €6.50 return Benidorm and means no need for parking and fuel costs if going by car. The journey is a little noisy but very pleasant . The views are amazing ( unseen by car) firstly through mountainous passes and along by the exceptional coastline. It takes just under an hour. Make sure you buy your ticket from the machine in the back carriage or you could face a €100 fine. On arrival turn left out of the station then first right on the main road. Just walk straight down this road to the bottom if you are wanting to visit the cobbled ‘old town’ and tapas alley. It’s a twenty minute walk down hill and perhaps good to take a taxi when going back up to catch your return train. If you have a Spanish pensioners card you can get a reduced fare from the machine.

    Great for days out
    When staying in Benidorm we usually have some days out and find the tram is excellent as it's cheap and reliable with trams every half hour towards Alicante. The tram line is mostly a single line and the trams cross over where it is double track. The main tram station in Benidorm is on Ave de Beniarda, which is easy enough to find but is located at the back of the old town uphill. If you're going from the Poniente beach seafront go uphill from the Corona del Mar hotel and keep going and you reach a main junction with 5 roads, cross over and take the road that goes uphill and the tram station is on the left 5-10mins down a side street. You can either buy tickets at a machine or at the manned booth and for a return journey Benidorm to Alicante it is 4.80eu. The seats are hard plastic, so not that comfortable but bearable for just over an hour's journey. The trams are usually fairly busy, so it's worth going around 10am which seems to be a quieter time. On your return from Alicante get on at the terminus stop of Luceros and you should manage to get a seat.
