Re: Benidorm continues to change
An interesting article which should prompt all those who dismiss Benidorm and other successful resorts to ask themselves why they are so popular. It may not be for you but at least concede that it offers something attractive to a great many people. Benidorm is extremely popular with very many Spanish people and saw the largest growth in tourism in Spain last year compared to the previous year. (refer to Euro News article posted in an earlier thread a few weeks back).

Re: Benidorm continues to change
My feelings exactly, I don't like the place, nor the likes of Torrevieja, Torremolinos, Fuengirola et al, but it's a huge attraction for millions, it serves an obvious need, so long may it survive. My sister loves it. A bit like Blackpool, I'd hate to go there, but it's a huge draw for millions. Equally I'm sure the average Benidorm visitor would be bored in the quieter, more rural parts of Spain I prefer to visit. Sobre gustos, colores.

Given the choice between a more rural setting and Benidorn, I would choose it everytime, and so do loads of others.
