Benidorm

Costa Blanca destination

Benidorm is a coastal city in eastern Spain, on the Mediterranean.

Once a small fishing village, it transformed in the mid-20th century into a mass-tourism destination known for its high-rise hotels, beaches, and nightlife.

The name evokes package holidays, British tourists abroad, and a particular style of affordable beach vacation: It's like Benidorm in August around here.
