Parking tip
The museum is located in Benissa’s historic old town, where streets are narrow and parking is limited. To make your visit stress-free:
- Look for a space in or near the “Germans Ivars” public parking area, just a short walk from the museum.
- Avoid driving directly into the old town, as many streets are one-way or pedestrian-only.
- Use local parking apps or meters in blue-zone (zona azul) areas for easy payment and to avoid fines.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the cobbled streets on your way — the walk itself feels like part of the experience.
