Benidorm Halal Travel Guide

Benidorm was built compact thanks to the foresight of the town's mayor, who in the 1960s saw a vision of a resort which grew upwards. Now it is slowly spreading westwards. Today Benidorm is well known for tall hotels and holiday apartment blocks, some of which are over 25 floors high. In recent years Benidorm has also seen a huge increase in the quality of lodging and the city now attracts not just package holiday visitors but tourists who demand 5-star hotel and spa complexes. Due to the July–August crowd of young people, many apartments will insist on a refundable deposit for certain times of the year.

Tree-lined wide avenues give a feeling of space and there are over a thousand places to eat and drink and watch the town in full swing. The streets offer a very vibrant atmosphere day and night with something to offer visitors of any age group. There are over 41,000 hotel beds and modern tourist apartments. The biggest assets are the 4 km of Blue Flag safe sandy beaches which draw people from all over Spain in the summer months and from all over Europe 365 days of the year. Benidorm is an ideal sun destination both in summer and winter due to the mild climate where day time temperatures rarely fall below 18°C.

Top Travel Tips

As a large resort, Benidorm offers a huge number of different activities for holidaymakers, both in town and in the nearby area.

Blanket trips are free tours to nearby resorts, towns and markets. Unlike timeshare sales and there is no hard sell and if you do not want to buy anything, that is fine. The downside is that by time you have sat through two demos and had something to eat, you arrive at a place at 12:30 or later as the shops are shutting and leave two hours later as they are opening again, or you get there when a market is mostly over.

Stay Safe

One feature over the last few years on travel forums is pick-pocketing and even some cases of mugging in Benidorm. When someone asked about "Muggers Alley", two different locations were given. Be careful in crowds, notably the Sunday-Wednesday market which has general things which you can buy as affordable elsewhere and the Sunday bootsale market which has older things and collectibles. Valuables should not be left in (empty) cars or apartments. Lock all doors and windows when leaving your apartment. Most rooms will come with a safe.

Despite these warnings visitors should remember that at peak times Benidorm hosts up to 200,000 people and therefore the true crime numbers are actually quite small. Sadly crimes are talked about around the many bars and tend to be exaggerated somewhat. In reality Benidorm is as safe as any other busy tourist resort where the majority of petty crime takes place late at night and involves alcohol fueled crimes. The police have a very visible presence, in cars.

Telecommunications

There are a number of internet cafés, some coin-fed. Free Wi-Fi is available at many pubs and restaurants.

• Guadalest is a village worth visiting, as many of the houses here are over 400 years old and there are stunning mountain views.
• Wine lovers should head toward Calp (a 30-minutes drive) and take the signs for Jalón, where you will find thefruit cocktail-growing region and almond groves.
• A recommended driving route to see the 'real Spain' is to head toward Finestrat, just 9 km from Benidorm and trip from there into the mountains where you will find a different world.
• The Algar waterfalls near Polop are a lovely place to escape the hustle and bustle of busy Benidorm.
• For a great day out and the city of Valencia is a must, which you can reach by express coach in 90 minutes from Benidorm.Copyright 2015 - 2024. All Rights reserved by eHalal Group Co., Ltd.
