The Experience

We met our guide right by the Levante Beach promenade—he waved at us with that easy Benidorm smile, already balancing on his own Segway like it was second nature. I’ll admit, I was nervous about riding one (my coordination’s not exactly Olympic level), but after a quick practice in the shade near Rincón de Loix, I got the hang of it. The machine hummed under my feet—kind of satisfying, actually. We set off in a little line, dodging sunbathers and hearing the distant clatter from beach cafés. There was this salty breeze mixed with sunscreen and fried calamari floating from somewhere. Our guide pointed out spots I’d have missed just walking—the old bullring, tucked behind some palm trees, and then up towards the castle remains where you can see half the city sprawled below. He told us stories about how Benidorm used to be a fishing village; hard to picture with all those high-rises now.

I picked the Sierra Helada route because I wanted to see something wilder than just city blocks. The climb started gentle but soon we were winding up past scrubby bushes and wildflowers—yellow ones that smelled faintly sweet if you brushed them with your leg (I did). At one point we stopped at an old watchtower from the 16th century; our guide joked it was “Benidorm’s original skyscraper.” The view from there—I mean, it’s not easy to describe without sounding dramatic, but you could see the whole coast curve away into haze. Someone tried to say ‘Sierra Helada’ in Spanish and totally mangled it; our guide just laughed and gave us a quick lesson (I still don’t say it right). My hands were a bit sweaty on the handlebars by then—not from nerves anymore, just from sun and excitement.

On the way back down, we passed some locals walking their dogs who nodded at us like this was all perfectly normal. It felt weirdly freeing to roll along above the city noise—Segways are quieter than I thought—and I kept thinking how different Benidorm looks when you’re not stuck in traffic or dodging crowds on foot. By the end, my legs buzzed a little from standing so long but honestly? I kind of wanted to keep going. If you’ve never tried seeing a place this way… well, it surprised me too.
