Benidorm Holidays

Benidorm holidays are certainly fine ideas. Why not have a vacation or holiday in the city of Benidrom ? It can be a super place to have a vacation. It can have super weather. You may want to enjoy the nightlife, you may want to see pubs in the area. You may want to have a vacation in the area to see the beaches or the surrounding area.

The city is divided into two halves, called Poniente and Levante, each fronted by a beach of the same name. Between the two beaches lies a rocky promontory. The old city occupies this promontory and the area immediately inland, while most of the hotels occupy the more recently developed sections behind the two beaches. A few miles from shore is an uninhabited island which provides a dramatic centerpiece to the seascape.

In 1954 Pedro Zaragoza Orts, the then young Mayor of Benidorm, created the Plan General de Ordenación (city building plan) that ensured, via a complex construction formula, every building would have an area of ‘leisure’ land, guaranteeing a future free of the excesses of cramped construction seen in other areas of Spain. It is the only city in Spain that still adheres to this rigid rule, and if you climb to the top of the Sierra Helada, the promontory at the end of the Rincon de Loix, you get a stunning view of how green the city is and just how close it is to the mountains.

Benidorm is particularly popular with Flemish, British and Dutch tourists, to such an extent that there are whole sections of the city where Spanish or Valencian are rarely heard. In addition, there is an abundance of pubs, each of which advertise an authentic British menu. Benidorm's long row of skyscrapers also resembles the Belgian coast. Because of this fact, together with the many Flemish tourists and shops, Benidorm is often called the 11th Belgian province. Benidorm's initial growth in popularity can be attributed to the package holiday explosion, and continues thanks to the year round night-life based around the central concentration of bars and clubs. The large number of free cabaret acts that start around 9pm and continue into the early hours set Benidorm apart from other similar resorts.[citation needed]

Until the tourist industry began in the 1960s, Benidorm was a small village. Today it stands out for its hotel industry, beaches and skyscrapers, which were built as a result of its tourist-oriented economy. Benidorm has three major beaches: Llevant, Ponent and Mal Pas; all of them have a blue flag, the maximum quality standard recognised by the European Union. The Gran Hotel Bali, a 4 star hotel located in this city since 2002, is a 186 meters tall building which stood as the tallest skyskraper in Spain for five years, until it was surpassed by the CTBA towers in Madrid.
The Valencian Community is an autonomous community located in central to south eastern Spain. It is divided in three provinces, from South to North: Alicante, Valencia and Castellón.

You may want to simply have a typical beach vacation. You may want to rent, sell, buy, hire, loan, invest in property in the city. You may want to have a condo, a villa, a cottage, a house, an apartment, a flat, a cabin the city.
