Latest News TikTok Sensation: Beer in Benidorm Cheaper than Tea, UK Tourists Delighted by Benidorm Travel Mart 23 December 2022 written by Benidorm Travel Mart 2 minutes read Two British tourists were shocked to find out that a pint of beer in Benidorm is cheaper than a cup of tea. Graham, 38, and Darren, 48, from Middlesbrough decided to book a 5-day trip to the popular Spanish resort because they thought it would be more affordable than staying at home. In a TikTok video that has garnered over 1.7 million views, the pair can be seen at a bar in Benidorm asking the bartender the price of two drinks. When they find out that a pint costs only 87p (€1), they are surprised because it’s cheaper than a cup of tea, which would cost £1.31 (€1.50). One of them jokes, “Well, I can’t afford not to drink.” The average price of a pint in the UK is £3.95, according to CGA. People on TikTok praised the men, with some calling them “legends” and others saying that they should be the “poster boys” for the average person going to Benidorm. Graham said that Darren ended up singing on stage with Chrissy Rock from the TV show Benidorm, which he recorded on video.

Latest News Lose those winter blues: come to Benidorm and save on energy costs by Benidorm Travel Mart 23 September 2022 written by Benidorm Travel Mart 10 minutes read A €5-million grant awarded by the Valencian government to keep hotels open in Benidorm during the winter months will not only benefit Spanish pensioners but also those from aboard. In announcing this week that around 80 percent of hotels will remain open in Benidorm and other resorts along the Valencian coast, the General Secretary of the Hosbec Hotel Association, Nuria Montes, above, encouraged elderly people living in cold areas of Spain to come to places such as Benidorm in winter to escape high energy bills. She said: It is cheaper to come to a hotel in Benidorm than to live at home. An elderly person could stay for a week in the tourist capital, with full board and other services such as entertainment, for around 200 euros. In order to attract pensioners from abroad this winter, Benidorm is being promoted in the UK and the Benilux countries with a “Benidorm Generation” marketing campaign. Montes was speaking at the launch of this year’s Imserso holiday programme, which provides subsidised holidays to pensioners living in Spain, whatever their nationality. Montes added that € 5 million awarded by the Generalitat Valenciana has enabled many hotels to remain open. Without it, some 70-80 percent of the hotels would have closed their doors. What to do in Benidorm and its surroundings during the winter months Guadalest: photo credi Manual Torres Garcia Apart from offering enjoyable day trips to Valencia and beauty spots such as the Algar Waterfalls and Guadalest, other places to visit—each with its own unique attractions— include: Altea, Denia, Jávea, Calpe, Alfaz del Pi, Finestrat, Villajoyosa, Alicante, Callosa and Tabarca Island. The climate Bear in mind that Benidorm in winter has a unique micro-climate. The city basks in some of the most pleasant temperatures in southern Europe because it is surrounded by mountain formations offering shelter from cold fronts and most rain showers. This is in stark contrast to other parts of Spain where cold and rain prevent you from enjoying outdoor activities. Here you can take walks at any time of day, go hiking, savour the best of Mediterranean cuisine, and much more.

Latest News People warned to be wary of scammers as tickets go on sale for ‘El Gordo’ by Barry Duke 30 August 2022 written by Barry Duke 7 minutes read Each year Spain holds a Christmas lottery called El Gordo (“The Fat One”) which offers eye-wateringly high prizes. This year the jackpot will be €2,408-BILLION! El Gordo, and lesser lottery draws are used by criminals to carry out what’s called ‘Tocomocho’ scams, and today (Tuesday) Spanish outlet Información used the arrest of a man and a woman at a Benidorm campsite to issue ‘Tocomocho’ warning. The word, according to The Nomad Today comes from the Spanish expression Tocó mucho which occurs when a victim is approached on the street by a stranger who claims to hold a winning lottery ticket but is unable to collect the money for some reason. Scammers offer a fake or doctored winning ticket in exchange for a large sum of money. If the victim agrees, they accompany them to their home or bank, collect an agreed amount in exchange for the “winning” lottery ticket. Arrested pair allegedly part of a ‘tocomocho’ gang Información reports that the National Police arrested two alleged members of one of the most active Spanish gangs dedicated to carrying out “tocomocho” scam. Investigators link the couple arrested with at least four scams involving more than €42,000. Elderly victims were targeted in the Benidorm area and Alicante. The accused—a man and a woman of 35 and 32 years, respectively— are said to have targeted people aged between 70 and 80. One of the swindlers pretended to be illiterate or “insane” and used O.N.C.E coupons already drawn to make their victims believe they had won. These types of scams are are reported on the rise, which is why the Citizen Participation Units of the National Police regularly give talks in day centers, civic centers or nursing homes, alerting mainly elderly people about the existence of this type of crime. Agents give older people guidelines for prevention and how to act against them. It is also recommended that you immediately report the facts to the National Police if you have been a victim of one of these crimes to enable them to start investigation procedures immediately. Tips from the Police to avoid scams • Buy lottery tickets only in authorised sites, either in person or online. • If you make your purchase on the Internet, save the emails related to it and take screenshots of the management if necessary. • Buy lottery tickets only in authorised sites, either in person or online. • If you make your purchase on the Internet, save the emails related to it and take screenshots of the management if necessary. • Be suspicious of the messages you receive informing you that you have been awarded in a draw that you do not know and in which you have not participated. • When you share a Lottery ticket with friends or family, photocopy it and write down who participates in that purchase and how much each of them plays. • Try to keep the ticket in perfect condition, because its deterioration could create problems in case of being awarded. And remember that awards expire after three months. • Take a picture of your ticket or write down in a safe place the number, the series and the elements that help you to identify it if you lose it. • Report the loss or theft of your ticket at any police station, in addition to notifying Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. • If you have been the victim of a scam, do not hesitate to report it by providing all the information you have about the perpetrators and their way of operating. • And if you have not been a victim of fraud but have information about one, report it at www.policia.es About Benidorm Travel Mart As an online travel service, Benidorm Travel Mart helps you build your own holiday by providing access to a wide range of cheap flights, hotels, airport transfers, car hire, and activities.

Blog Why the Costa Blanca attracts rock climbers from across the globe by Barry Duke 15 May 2022 written by Barry Duke 6 minutes read Most people who visit travel sites such as Benidorm Travel Mart will be aware of that of the enormous number of attractions that can be found along the Costa Blanca, but few know that rock climbers from around the globe come to this region of Spain where you can find some of the finest bolted limestone crags in the country. Spain Info reports that there there are two main areas. One is the Sella crag, situated about 20km inland from Villajoyosa on the AP-7 motorway. Sella remains the most popular area in the Costa Blanca. UK Climbing says: There is enough climbing to spend a whole week’s holiday here, although other areas are worth a visit too! The most popular section is the long ridge in the centre of the valley which has a superb series of south-facing walls and buttresses. The site adds: In hot weather the north-facing Pared de Rosalía is well-worth considering. With its fine long routes in the mid and harder grades. Further along the road from the main area is the Mecca for hard rock climbers, called the Hidden Valley. You can’t really miss the final jewel in the crown. The Divino sits majestically above everything and is worth attention from all those rock climbers who demand a bit more from their climbing. Perfect for less experienced rock climbers For less experienced rock climbers who wish to use Benidorm as a base, there’s a “baby” mountain at neighboring La Cala. It can prove an arduous climb. But it’s worth it for at its peak there’s the Renaissance watchtower of l’Aguilò. A view from the top of La Cala’s mountain. Photo credit: Barry Duke. The Torre de l’Aguilo was built in the 1500s to protect the coastline from North African pirates. The tower was manned by soldiers whose job was to spot any incoming ships and give a warning by lighting a signal fire on the top platform. It has been fully restored, and there is a modern metal staircase that takes you into the tower itself. However, when I visited it was firmly shut and padlocked. There are two routes but the longest is the easiest and begins on the road as you head out of La Cala from the beach. The entrance is on the left, it’s a comfortable path to walk with some steep climbs, so go with appropriate footwear. At the foot of the tower, the views are breathtaking and there are places to rest while contemplating the landscape. If you continue down the other side you will find a small enclave where you can swim and sunbathe in the nude at a beach called Raco Conill.

With warm weather and unpolluted air, it has an average temperature between 18°C – 28°C throughout the year. On rare occasions it experiences some heavy downpours, followed by scenes like this: Photo by Barry Duke 5: People wrongly believe that Benidorm was once a fishing village. A visionary mayor, Pedro Zaragoza, turned Benidorm from a sleepy village into the vibrant Mediterranean seaside resort it is today. When he was first elected in 1950, this village had little economic activity, few businesses, and no tourists. By 1969, Benidorm had grown from 8,000 to 55,000 inhabitants and several million tourists annually visited this beautiful stretch of golden Mediterranean coastline. Benidorm holidays were well and truly on the tourist map! Spain’s long history of fishing created the myth that Benidorm was a fishing village when in fact it never was. The fishermen of Benidorm were actually deep sea fishermen who spent many months in the Atlantic, South America and north of Spain. They were famous all over Spain for their skills with trap netting and were much sought after in the 18th century. Vintage image of old Benidorm via Loek van Weezep/YouTube 6: It’s a myth that all of Benidorm’s beach is imported from Africa The beaches are an important part of what truly makes this resort so special, and one of the myths that literally drives the most tourists here is their belief that the stunning golden sand is sent over from Morocco. This is untrue – a fact that really gives the resort its charming edge, along with some other amazing features. Benidorm beaches make for a fantastic holiday. 7: There are over 1,000 bars and 200 clubs Benidorm is a destination that appeals to a wide range of tastes, with everything you could want for an unforgettable all-night party. With over two hundred clubs and one thousand bars, you’ll never be at a loss when looking for somewhere to go out.

The Playa de Levante beach is where you’ll find all the action, you can expect any kind of wild partying in buzzing bars and clubs. A stag or hen weekend in Benidorm promises to be one of the best weekends of your life. Check out Benidorm Stag & hen Weekends if you want to know more. 9: First in Spain for bikinis A ban on bikinis in most parts of Spain was short-lived, due to the efforts of former Mayor Pedro Zaragoza. Zaragoza managed to convince Spain’s former Dictator, General Franco, to lift the ban and allow women to wear their favorite bikini’s. This historic event helped to make the resort even more popular as beach lovers flocked to the region. 10: Benidorm ranks 14th largest city in Spain The popularity of Benidorm has made it Spain’s 14th largest city, with official records showing that there are around 75,000 residents living in the area. The city boasts 3500 shops, 2000 bars and restaurants, and 400 hotels from budget to boutique and five-star luxury. 11: Benidorm has a thriving Gay scene Enjoy as many as 30 small and intimate gay bars and eateries all only a hop and a skip from each other.
