A sleepy little fishing village just 50 years ago, Benidorm has developed into one of Spain's most well known and loved holiday resorts. Stretching 3 miles along the coast, it offers two main sandy beaches: Poniente, which is west of the old town and Playa De Levante, where the main concentration of hotels is. These beaches are wide and sandy but can become very crowded in high season. An attractive promenade runs along both. Entertainments in the resort include Terra Mitica (Mythical Land), a huge theme park with rides, shows and interactive games, which is a haven for families. However, it is in the evenings that Benidorm really comes to life with dozens of discos, innumerable bars and shows creating a vibrant atmopshere. It is no wonder that people flock here again and again for the abundant nightlife. The most famous of the aforementioned shows is at the Benidorm Palace. The entertainment here lasts for 3 hours and includes Spanish dancers and flamenco, magicians and jugglers with a live dance band/orchestra playing in between each act. Dinner can also be taken here if you wish. One of Spain's largest casinos, The Costa Blanca Casino, can be found between Benidorm and Villajoyosa.

WHEN TO GO

Benidorm is lucky enough to enjoy long hot summers with temperatures regularly around 27 degrees celsius in August, and mild winters with temperatures of around 12 degrees celsius in December and January. This makes it an all-year round resort which is never really without tourists - though the people who visit in summer are decidedly different from those who holiday in the winter! Summer attracts hordes of young singles, lively couples and families attracted by the sandy beaches, wide array of entertainments and eateries with a British feel. From November to April the over 55 age group takes over and the nightlife centres on dancing and shows.

This takes place on Wednesdays and Sundays from 09:00am until 2:00pm next to the Hotel Pueblo. There are still some wine cellars, known as Bodegas, in the Rincon de Loix area, although these are fast disappearing due to increasing competition.

And for the smokers among you, Spain is now the cheapest EEC country for cigarettes, cigars and tobacco.
