Description
Benidorm is the most iconic holiday destination on the Costa Blanca North, which transformed in the mid-twentieth century from a small fishing village into a world-famous tourist metropolis.
The history of the city was radically changed by the visionary urban plan of Mayor Pedro Zaragoza, who in the 1950s laid the foundation for the vertical skyline we know today. The climate is exceptionally favorable thanks to the surrounding mountains that block cold winds, resulting in a unique microclimate with very mild winters and sunny summers.
The main attractions are the "Balcón del Mediterráneo" with its white and blue tiles and the two expansive sandy beaches, Levante and Poniente, which are among the best in Europe. The local gastronomy offers an enormous variety, ranging from the famous tapas alleys in the old center to exclusive starred restaurants overlooking the glittering skyline. For golf enthusiasts, the city is a true paradise with several top courses in the immediate vicinity, such as the Jack Nicklaus-designed Villaitana courses with panoramic views.
The residents form a vibrant and cosmopolitan community of local Spaniards and a huge international population that ensures a dynamic atmosphere throughout the entire year. The surroundings offer a surprising contrast between the lively city and the peaceful nature of the Sierra Helada natural park, where one can take spectacular walks along the cliffs. Living in Benidorm offers unique advantages, such as an unparalleled range of entertainment, excellent medical facilities, and the opportunity to enjoy both the beach and a modern city life.
