Brilliant Benidorm

The town of Benidorm on the eastern coast of Spain has developed for itself something

of a bad reputation that is largely, if not completely, unfounded. Often credited for the rise of the package holiday, it is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Spain, but remains a fantastic place to visit.

Much of Benidorm's reputation comes from its nightlife, which has, at times, attracted the wrong type of holidaymaker. However, this is generally only in the height of summer and as Benidorm is warm and welcoming throughout the year, from September to June it is the perfect holiday destination.

Benidorm's main attraction is its three, first-class beaches, all of which have had blue-flag approval since the mid 1980s, confirming them as some of the best stretches of sand in the entirety of Europe. Many bars and clubs can be found on the edges of the beaches, and free cabaret acts often perform in the evenings, starting at around 2100 and continuing well into the small hours.

The town itself is said to have the greatest concentration of skyscrapers to people in the world, and is often compared to Manhattan. These skyscrapers are, more often than not, luxury or high quality hotels designed for tourists, accordingly Benidorm hotels are some of the best in the Mediterranean. One feature of Benidorm which often goes unnoticed is the remarkable amount of open space in the town, due largely to a major of Benidorm in the 1950s who ensured that every building must have leisure space attached to it.

Whilst the town might not be the ideal location for people looking for culture and architecture from their holidays, many of the buildings are, after all, very new, the landscape around Benidorm away from the beach is often overlooked. The Costa Blanc is, at times, a rugged and striking landscape and not far from the town is the Puig Campana, which, whilst not particularly tall in terms of the great mountains of mainland Europe, is still taller than Ben Nevis and offers an unparalleled view of the coast and of the Mediterranean.

Benidorm is a lovely city to visit throughout the year, due to the proximity it has a micro-climate that insulates it from weather from the west, meaning it is sunny practically all the year round. Even in winter the sea is around 15 degrees. Don't let the negative reputation detract you from visiting Benidorm which remains a fantastic place to visit.
