High-rise Benidorm is one of the most important holiday resorts in Spain. Each year up to five million tourists - from the UK and Europe - seek flights to Benidorm. In the 1950s it pioneered mass tourism, deciding to build up into the blue sky and leave lots of space for parks and pools and outdoor spaces rather than sprawling outwards. This way, visitors have short strolls to the beach and beautiful sea views.
It's a very popular mix of Spain and England with a hot sun beating down, two wonderful beaches, "W" in shape, and sparkling waters. The Old Town sits on the promontory between the sweeping beaches.
There is an abundance of pubs and clubs and restaurants serving anything from tapas to all-day breakfasts.
