Hi and a warm welcome to the Spanish forum on BE. Myself and Fred James are the moderators for the Spanish forums whilst BEVS moderates Europe. Moderators are there to ensure that the site runs smoothly within the rules of BE. This is so that members gain the information that they are looking for and find their experiences on the forums to be friendly and worthwhile.

Problems and complaints should always be addressed to a moderator who will look into the matter and deal with it efficiently and fairly. Our members who post in the Spain Forums are usually friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge about the issues of living in Spain. I hope that you enjoy your time participating in the forums.

Please let me know if you need any further help.

Tebo lives there and is very helpful. Look at his previous posts and you may find some of your questions answered.

Albir, Altea etc, just a bit north of Benidorm are very nice, Albir is on the coast, Altea's just a few km inland. both have a good public transport system into Benidorm.

I've just put a lengthy post on the 'Why Benidorm' thread to how I feel about Benidorm. Hope you find it helpful.

If I can help with specific questions about Benidorm please ask.
