Benidorm's Skyline - Great Views From the North
The utopian skyscraper nest of Benidorm looks thrilling when viewed from the mountain just north of the city.
Being there and looking down I had the feeling I'm overlooking a mega city's skyline.
I couldn't count the number of high-rise buildings seen, there are dozens.
But, according to this Skyscrapercity page, there are 67 skyscrapers in Benidorm.
The basic characteristics of a skyscraper include: minimum 12 floors and 35 m in height. Well, it seems 67 buildings meet that criteria.
The photos below will show Benidorm's view from a particular southern mountain. There is a cross at the top of the mountain, but I didn't go all the way up there. I wanted to get more detail with my lens, so a slightly lower altitude was in fact better.
Besides these photos, there are several taken from a southern mountain top as well. A totally different experience.

Benidorm is huge in the north-south direction, but it's rather narrow - as you can see, its buildings are concentrated mostly along the shoreline
