Benidorm is part of Spain’s Costa Blanca region, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It is found north east of Alicante (around 45 kilometers’ drive) and is south of the Altea.

Benidorm’s beaches and cosmopolitan atmosphere (it has a skyscraper skyline that looks stunning at night) makes it famous for swimming by day, partying by night. And not even winter can dampen this paradise. Enclosed by mountains that stand up to 1558 metres high, Benidorm is shielded against the sometimes cold north winds. Thus, the weather is never harsh, and continues to be a favorite winter escape.

In the summer, Benidorm transforms into one big party place. It has over a thousand restaurants, over thirty discos and bars. This is the night life that attracts thousands of visitors a year. They flock to the hotels, which have a total of over 35,000 beds. Or they rent out the apartments and other alternative vacation accommodations (numbering over 200,000 in hotels spain ). Some tourists have fallen in love with the place so much they actually bought their own properties there, and it has a flourishing British and Irish community.
