Benidorm Old Town Costa Blanca Spain (Tour)
The old town is split by what is known locally as 'the walking street'. This is the heart of Benidorm. This is where many of Benidorm's Spanish residents actually live and work. This area has managed to retain its unique identity. The old town inland is a shopper's paradise and the resorts main shopping area. Here you will find such famous names as Zara and The Body Shop. There are many jewellery stores and clothes shops. Shopping is a delight as the whole area is a pedestrian's paradise! Please remember especially when shopping that a lot of the shops, not all, will close at 2pm and re-open again at 5pm. This is the famous 'siesta' time. In the summer months shopping in the morning is preferable in order to avoid the intense heat of later in the day. Calle Ruzafa is a busy street with a lot of traffic and is a frenetic Spanish shopping experience, lined with many shops and bars this is not to be missed. Calle La Palma which is adjacent to Ruzafa has some of the resorts best bistro style restaurants.
The old town isn't only recommended for shopping it's also a foodie's paradise! If you like Tapas, you're in the right place! This place is abundant with them! A visit to tapas alley is a must, located in the very heart of the old town, opposite The Queen's Hotel is where you will find them. Tapas bars are an experience in themselves. They are noisy, boisterous and above all an absolute delight! Don't let the language barrier hinder you, the staff are loud and very friendly and they want you to come in and enjoy! Simply order a couple of items, point and eat, when you want more, do it again until you are full! A top tip here is to take a little rioja while eating, just as the Spanish do! To celebrate the royal wedding of William and Kate many tapas bars created the British tapa! Don't be put off by messy floors strewn with napkins; this is a sign of a good tapas bar!
The old town is also home to a large and very friendly 'gay village'. You will find the majority of gay bars and restaurants by walking up Calle Santa Faz. Please remember that the bars and clubs do not get busy until midnight and go on until the early hours. This is a gay scene without attitude; you will find drag bars such as the famous Rich Bitch and intimate bars all within walking distance of each other.
The old town has a beautiful head land area. Just head for the church of San Jamie, you can't miss it, simply walk up and follow its blue dome to the top. As you walk past the church you enter an area which allows you breath taking vistas of all of Benidorm. Have your camera ready! If you look over to the Poniente side of the headland you will find steps which take you down to the areas own small beach. This is Mal Pas beach. You may notice on the way down hundreds if not thousands of locks! These are left by lovers to 'lock in' their love. Why not get one yourself!
Once down you will also find Benidorm's small port area. Why not take a trip on a boat out to Peacock Island? You will also find Park de Elche, locally known as Dove Park!

BENIDORM. SPAIN. A Tour Around Benidorm
The Playa de Levante (East beach) is located on what locals call 'new Benidorm.' This glorious sandy beach stretches for 2 kilometres from the 'new town' to the centre of Benidorm, the old town. The Levante beach is possibly Europe's cleanest; it consistently retains its blue flag status year after year and is the jewel in the crown of Benidorm. The town hall in their wisdom ensures that it stays that way and they don't let you, the holidaymaker down!

El Casco Antiguo de Benidorm in Benidorm, Spain
Benidorm is a city and municipality in the province of Alicante (Valencian Community), on Spain's Mediterranean coast.
Distinctive due to its blue-domed church and white houses, El Casco Antiguo de Benidorm is a must see. The center of this old town is a breathtaking tiled plaza with a view over the sea. Its cobblestone streets are flanked with shops and cafes, whose Bohemian storefronts beckon. Over 50 major fiestas take place in this city every year, and many of them host events in this same plaza.
Benidorm has been a tourist destination within Spain since 1925, when its port was extended and the first hotels were built. However, the real boom of Benidorm as a coastal resort did not happen until the 1950s, when it became a famous summer destination for people coming from inland Spain, especially Madrid. Today it is known for its hotel industry, beaches and skyscrapers and receives as many or even slightly more foreign tourists as Spanish ones. According to the 2014 census, Benidorm has a permanent population of 69,010 inhabitants, making it the fifth most populous town in the Alicante province.
Benidorm is popular with tourists from the UK, Ireland, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Benidorm's initial growth in popularity can be attributed to the package holiday explosion, and continues year round, due to the night-life based around the central concentration of bars and clubs. The large number of free cabaret acts that start around 21:00 and continue into the early hours sets Benidorm apart from other similar cities.
The author and Guardian journalist Giles Tremlett identified the city as the birthplace of package tourism in the book Ghosts of Spain: Travels Through a Country's Hidden Past and remarked that culturally the city contradicted conservative notions of National Catholicism that General Franco had espoused. The accessibility of Benidorm to a wider social strata made the town into an ever so easy target for highbrow sarcasm, as by Jani Allan in the Sunday Times in 1990: These days you just have to look at the numbers of wide-bodied jets bearing wide-bodied holidaymakers to Benidorm to realise that package holidays and airborne cattle trucks make fun in the sun accessible to everyone.
In the 1980s Benidorm developed a reputation for British drunken lager louts and violent binge drinking. This did not happen all year round but mainly in the summer months of July and August. During the 1980s families were put off visiting the city. However today the problem of drunkenness and lager louts has largely gone and Benidorm has mellowed. Now there is a very good police presence in the town which has greatly improved safety and provided for a good atmosphere. Nightlife is very popular and mainly involves cabaret acts and tapas bars.
The town is now very popular with families. Also, more and more elderly people from Northern Europe decide to stay there during the winter. This made 'Benidorm' into something of a synonym for elderly people in those countries, as can be seen in the Flemish candid camera programme Benidorm Bastards.
Benidorm has three major beaches: Playa de Levante, Playa de Poniente and Playa de Mal Pas; all of them have had a blue flag since 1987, the maximum quality standard recognised by the European Union. The Gran Hotel Bali, a four-star hotel located in this city since 2002, is a 186-metre-tall building which stood as the tallest skyscraper in Spain for five years, until it was surpassed by the CTBA towers in Madrid and Intempo building, also in Benidorm.
Events and attractions
Each summer, since 1959 to 2000, the city celebrated the Benidorm International Song Festival, a song contest where international or Spanish celebrities such as Julio Iglesias, Raphael or the Dúo Dinámico became famous.
Since 2010, in July, Benidorm celebrates an indie music festival, with national and international music groups, called Benidorm Low Festival.
In 2011, Benidorm hosted the start of the Vuelta a España, one of cycling's three grand tours.
Benidorm boasts three family-oriented theme parks: Terra Mítica is inland from the city, at the foot of the mountain, and Aqualandia and Mundomar are located on the outskirts of the city on the Levante side. There are lots of things to do in Benidorm for all ages. With all the family attractions available, Benidorm has been described as one of the most family oriented holiday destinations in Spain and Europe. In addition to large shopping and commercial areas. An episode of the hit British sitcom Only Fools and Horses was filmed in Benidorm. The episode was called It Never Rains....
A TV series called Benidorm has aired on ITV in the UK. Actors include Jake Canuso, Steve Pemberton, Sheila Reid and comedian Johnny Vegas. Airing of the tenth series began in February 2018.
